Project-level coal details

  • Permit(s): August 2012

Background

The plant is owned by China Huaneng. The first four units (2 x 125 MW and 2 x 200 MW) were retired in 2008 to 2012. Unit 5 was 200 MW and Unit 6 was 220 MW. They were brought online in 1985 and 1986,[1] and retired in 2016.[2]

Units 7 and 8, each 600 MW, began operating in 2011 and 2013, respectively.[3]

Proposed expansion

Units 9 and 10, each 660 MW, are planned.[4][5][6][7][8]

However, with no developments since 2013, the project appears to be cancelled.
