Background

The two existing coal-fired units of Hohhot Jinqiao power station, totaling 600 MW, were brought online in 2007. The plant is owned by China Huaneng.[3]

Description of Expansion

Huaneng was planning to build additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 600 MW.[4]

However, those plans were halted due to cash flow problems.[5]

In June 2023, feasibility study work began. In September 2023, an investment cooperation agreement was signed.

In 2024-2025, no significant progress. The project was shelved in April 2026.
