Background on Project
According to the Fujian Provincial Development and Reform Commission (August 2015), a 2 x 660 MW power station was proposed for the province, along with four additional 50 MW subcritical back-pressure units.[8] The two 660 MW units would be ultra-supercritical.[9]
The power plant was expected to be built in 2 campuses. The southern campus, which would be on a proposed land reclamation area, was set to have 2*660MW units and 2*50MW units. The northern campus was set to have 2*50MW units. A coal berth with 6 million tons throughput per year was also planned along with the power plant to receive coal transferred by ships from northern harbors, such as Qinhuangdao Harbor and Huanghua Harbor. The coal source would be Shaanxi and Shanxi Provinces.[10]
Two 50 MW units (units 3-4) were permitted in 2017 and were planned for construction in 2018.[11]
With no developments since 2015, the remaining proposed units of the power station appeared to be abandoned. In October 2018, the Fujian Province stated the province would not develop any further coal power plants in the 13th Five Year Plan period (2016-2020) with two exceptions: 1) projects which had already been permitted; and 2) combined heat and power (CHP) plants. The remaining units of Huaneng Gulei power station did not have permits and were not CHP plant units.[12]
However, in a December 2019 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Phase I (North Plant), the project was proposed as 2 x 660 MW and 4 x 50 MW. The first phase was expected to be 2 x 50 MW, although preparation would be for all six units.[13]
In 2022, at least the 2 x 660 MW units were listed in the 14th Five Year Plan for the energy sector.[14]
On December 26, 2022, the first phase reportedly completed the start-up and trial operation of Unit 2, marking the completion of the project’s 2×50 MW "pumping-back" units.[15]
Phase II
At the announcement of the plant's first units' construction in 2020, it was indicated that the project would eventually include a total of 6 x 50 MW units.[16]
As the first phase presumably consisted of the first two 50 MW units, Phase II would presumably include unit 3 and 4. The two units were expected to enter operation in 2023. In July 2023, the following was reported – "Huaneng's first thermal power EPC project, Gulei Project, has completed trial operation! On July 3, the test run of boiler #4 of the first phase project of Huaneng Gulei Thermal Power Plant was successfully completed, and all indicators were excellent. So far, all test runs of the Gulei project have been completed."[17][18] It was presumed that construction on the units had been underway since early 2020. The status of the second half of Phase II was unknown.
In October 2023, a rumor indicated that Phase II (2×50 MW) might be replaced by a 660 MW unit, but no confirmation was found[19]. The project was shelved in October 2023.
In July 2026, the project was cancelled due to no news[20].
Units 1 & 2
In January 2025, a new EIA first public consultation was published[21]. In February 2025, a tender for marine survey services was issued and awarded[22]. In April 2025, the survey and design contract was awarded to Shandong Electric Power Engineering Consulting Institute[23][24]. In May 2025, the provincial energy conservation review was issued, with planned commissioning by December 2027[25][26]. In June 2025, the EIA approval decision was published[27].
In July 2025, tenders for preliminary design review and cost consulting were issued[28][29]. In September 2025, tenders for site preparation (five connections and leveling) and major equipment were issued[30][31]. The preliminary design review and cost consulting contracts were awarded in September 2025[32]. In November 2025, the major equipment contract was awarded[33]. In December 2025, a tender for pile foundation work was issued[34].
In February 2026, a tender for equipment supervision services was issued[35]. In March 2026, the first batch of auxiliary equipment tenders was issued, with a planned first concrete pour date of 31 May 2026 and commissioning of the first unit by 31 May 2028[36]. A pile foundation ceremony was held on 29 March 2026[37]. In April 2026, a tender for building and installation was issued[38]. In May 2026, a tender for waste heat recovery equipment was issued[39].
In June 2026, the project (Units 1 & 2) was reported to have started construction[40].
