Background on Project
In 2014, China Huadian was planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.[3]
The plant was permitted for construction in May 2015.[4]
As of January 2019, construction had not advanced beyond land clearing. Plans for the plant appeared to be shelved or deferred, perhaps to comply with central government restrictions (more below).
Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
In 2016 China's National Energy Administration issued "scale control" (coal-fired capacity limits) on particular "sending out" locations that feed ultra-high voltage (UHV) long-distance power lines, including Inner Mongolia (Xilingong), Inner Mongolia (Ordos), Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi, and Xinjiang.[5]
The affected area included this power station. As of January 2022, with no progress on the project since at least 2017, it was presumed shelved or cancelled.
For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Project revived
In September 2022, it became apparent that the project was underway, with Energy China Northwest Power Construction winning a related bid.[6]
In November 2022, construction reportedly started on the power station.[7]
