Background

The first four coal-fired units of Huaneng Fuzhou power station – the two-unit Huaneng Fuzhou-1 and two-unit Huaneng Fuzhou-2 totaling 1,400 MW, were brought online between 1988 and 1999. The plant is owned by China Huaneng.[7]

In 2010, China Huaneng built two additional coal-fired units at this plant, Huaneng Fuzhou-3, with a total capacity of 1,320 MW.[8][9][10]

Units 1 and 2 appeared mothballed in 2022.[11]

Description of Expansion

In January 2021, an additional 700 MW unit was planned for commissioning in 2024, Huaneng Fuzhou-1R Unit 3.[12][13]

In 2023, with two years since the last known development, Huaneng Fuzhou-1R Unit 3 was presumed to be shelved.

Phase IR Unit 3 Revival

Phase IR Unit 3 was canceled due to no activity. However, it was revived in December 2025 with a tender for feasibility study revision[14]. The feasibility study revision contract was awarded in January 2026[15], and an EIA technical services tender was issued[16].

The feasibility study review contract was awarded in January 2026[17]. An EIA first public consultation was held in March 2026[18]. Further technical service tenders were issued in March[19] and May 2026[20]. A preliminary survey contract was awarded in June 2026[21].
