Background
Units 1-2 of 100 MW each were commissioned in 1989 and retired in 2007. Units 3-4 of 330 MW each was commissioned in 2006. The subcritical coal plant is owned by China Datang.[1][2]
Expansion
Datang had proposed an additional unit 5 of 600 MW. It was among 15 projects cancelled by China's National Energy Administration (NEA) in September 2016.[3]
