Background on Project

The Inner Mongolia Electric Power Co. invited bids for construction of a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 660 MW in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The project was permitted in 2008.[1] The project was reported as under construction in 2014, and planned for 2016.[2][3]

The power station went online in 2016.[4]

In December 2020, the company signed a strategic agreement with the local government to jointly develop the second phase of the power plant. The capacity was proposed as 2 x 660 MW or 2 x 1000 MW. (An additional 2,000 MW of renewable energy was also included in the agreement.)[5]

With no recent news as of January 2023, Phase II was presumed shelved.
