Background
The four existing coal-fired units of Haimen power station, totaling 4,144 MW, were brought online between 2009 and 2013. [5] The plant is owned by China Huaneng.[6]
The MEPC rejected units 3 & 4 's EIA approval in November 2011, noting the power station was operating before receiving its EIA clearance and had insufficient environmental controls. [7] The units received NDRC permit for construction in April 2013. That same month, it began operating. [8][9]
The power station was originally proposed as 6 x 1,000 MW. The first four units were completed by 2013 and the primary feasibility study for the last two units was completed in 2013. Due to policy changes, units 5 & 6 were presumed cancelled. The listed parent company, Huaneng Power International, decided to pursue "accrual total amount reduced-value allowance" (Google translate), meaning they appeared to give up on the expansion project.[10]
However, on August 31, 2022, the cancelled project was permitted.[11]
This 2×1000MW expansion project conducted preliminary design reviews and major equipment procurement throughout 2024[12]. The first concrete pour occurred in August 2024[13], with construction accelerating through 2025[14].
By mid-2026, Unit 5 achieved multiple key milestones including boiler water pressure test[15] and generator rotor installation[16]. Unit 5 is planned for commissioning in December 2026.
Phase II Unit 6 construction progressed alongside Unit 5, with boiler steel structure erection beginning in March 2025[17].
By 2026, Unit 6 had completed DCS power-on[18] and generator stator installation[19], with the boiler water pressure test successfully completed in July 2026[20]. Unit 6 is planned for commissioning in February 2027.
