Background on Plant

Huadian Xiangyang power station is a six-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 2,400 MW. The plant was completed between 1998 and 2006, and is majority owned by China Huadian.

Expansion

In 2013 it was reported that China Huadian planned to build an additional 2 x 1,000 MW coal-fired units at the site location.

In January 2020, Hubei province said it still planned to pursue the project. However, Hubei changed the project and location to the Hubei Yicheng power station. This expansion is therefore cancelled.
