Project-level coal details

  • Permit(s): December 2016, October 2013

Background on Project

Shenergy is building a two-unit, ¥50 billion (US$800 million) coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW in Anhui Province. The project was approved by the NDRC and began construction in October 2013. The plant is scheduled to be completed in 2015.[1][2][3][4][5]

Unit 1 was commissioned in December 2015,[6] and unit 2 in March 2016.[7]

Expansion

A proposed unit 3 of 1,350 MW total was proposed. It was permitted in January 2017.[8] Construction began in 2018, with commissioning planned for 2020.[9]

It was connected to the grid in late 2020,[10] but its status was uncertain in 2021, with at least some time spend offline for repairs.[11]

It received its license to generate electricity by April 2022, which was assumed to mean it finally entered commercial operation.[12]
