Leilongwan power station (陕西投资集团赵石畔煤电公司雷龙湾电厂) is an operating power station of at least 2000-megawatts (MW) in Zhaoshipan Town, Hengshan, Yulin, Shaanxi, China with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Zhaoshipan power station; 陕能赵石畔煤电二期扩建项目 (Phase II Unit 3, Phase II Unit 4), 雷龙湾电厂一期 (Phase I Unit 1, Phase I Unit 2).

Background
In 2015 Shaanxi Huisen Coal Industry Co. proposed a 4 x 1,000 MW coal plant in Zhaoshipan Town.[5] Environmental clearance is being sought for two of the units.[6]
Units 1-2 were permitted in March 2016. Construction began in June 2016. Operation was planned for 2018.[7]
Planet satellite imagery showed construction began in June 2016 and continued through December 2018. The units appeared near completion.
Unit 1 was commissioned in December 2018.[8] Unit 2 was commissioned in October 2019.[9]
With no developments on units 3-4 since they were proposed in March 2015, the units appeared to be cancelled.
Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
In 2016 China's National Energy Administration issued "scale control" (coal-fired capacity limits) on particular "sending out" locations that feed ultra-high voltage (UHV) long-distance power lines, including Inner Mongolia (Xilingong), Inner Mongolia (Ordos), Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Xinjiang.[10]
As of January 2017, the affected area included units 3-4 of this power station. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Project revival
In August 2022, a feasibility study for Phase II began.[11].
