Background

Kingsun Jieyang Cogen power station is a proposed 2 x 600 MW coal plant in Nanhai Town, sponsored by Guangdong KingSun Power. It would be ultra-supercritical. It is planned to be a co-generation power plant, supplying heat to the proposed Dananhai petrochemical industrial park.[1]

Project suspended by central government

In January 2017 China's National Energy Board directed the Guangdong Province to suspend or postpone nine coal projects in the province, including Kingsun Jieyang, due to excess coal capacity. Progress is therefore halted until further notice.[2]

In July 2018, the Guangdong Provincial EPA said it would not permit any coal plants for construction in 2018.[3]

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

Project revival

The project appeared on the provincial 14th Five-Year-Plan for the energy sector, indicating its revival. [4][5]

Its EIA report approval dated back to 2016.
