Background
Kaiyuan power station is a two-unit coal-fired power station totaling 600 MW. It was commissioned in 2006-2007. The plant is majority-owned by China Datang.[1]
On December 1, 2022, a 700 MW expansion unit was permitted.[2]
In April 2023, China Energy Construction Southwest Institute won the bid for EPC general contracting[3] and signed the contract,[4] which had been earlier been approved by the Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission with the document "Yunfagaidiandian [2022] No. 1304". That month, the project was expected to start construction in July 2023 for operation before the end of 2024.[4]
However, in April 2023, construction reportedly began.[5][6]
In June 2023, bids were awarded for the plant.[7] Examination regarding the Energy Conservation Report also appeared underway.[8]
On June 30, 2023, the first concrete for the plant was reportedly poured, marking the official start of the project. The plant was projected for completion by 2025.[9]
