Huadian Hami power station (华电新疆哈密热电厂) is an operating power station of at least 620-megawatts (MW) in Erpu Town Huoshiquan, Hami, Xinjiang, China with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as 华电哈密热电厂四期 (Phase IV Unit 7, Phase IV Unit 8), 华电新疆伊州热电厂 (Phase IV Unit 7, Phase IV Unit 8).

- Coal source(s): domestic
Background
The first three units of the plant, totaling 49 MW, were commissioned in 1987 to 1996 and retired in 2008. Units 4-6, totaling 295 MW, were commissioned in 1996 and 2003.[2] Unit 4 (25 MW) was retired in 2018.[3]
Expansion
In 2015, China Huadian proposed a 2 x 350 MW expansion of the Huadian Hami power station, units 7-8.[2]
In 2016, the units were reported to be under construction. They were a residential CHP project.[4]
In January 2017, China's National Energy Administration proposed the suspension through 2020 of over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Huadian Hami power station Units 7-8.[5] For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
However, construction resumed on Phase IV in June 2018.[6]
Planet satellite imagery only showed one new unit at the site, with no known signs of development of a second unit. The plan for a second Phase IV unit, Unit 7, was presumed to be cancelled in 2019.
Unit 8 of the expansion was commissioned on May 28, 2021.[7]
