Background on Project

Inner Mongolia Huineng Coal Electricity Group is seeking approval for a 2 x 660 MW ultra-supercritical coal plant in Weijiamao town.[8][9] It was planned for operation in 2017.[10]

In October 2017 the power station was permitted for construction. It will support electricity transmission from Xilingol to Tianjin. As a power export project, it is likely exempted from restrictions on new coal plants under China's "red light" policy.[11][12]

In August 2018 it was reported that construction had begun.[13]

In May 2023, Unit 1 began operating.[14] In June 2023, Unit 2 began operating.[15]

A 2 x 660 MW Phase II of Huineng Changtan power station was reportedly permitted in early 2023. Construction of the power station was slated to begin in August 2023.[16]

In September 2023, the Environmental Impact Assessment for Phase II was officially approved.[17]

The project commenced construction with the first concrete pour for Unit 3 in March 2024[18].

Throughout 2024-2025, construction progressed with major milestones including boiler water pressure test[19]. Unit 3 achieved first grid connection in December 2025[20] and completed the 168-hour trial run in January 2026[21].

Unit 4 progressed alongside Unit 3, with boiler ignition in December 2025[22]. Unit 4 completed its 168-hour trial run in March 2026[23].
