Background

In 2015 Shaanxi Huisen Coal Industry Co. proposed a 4 x 1,000 MW coal plant in Zhaoshipan Town.[6] Environmental clearance is being sought for two of the units.[7]

Units 1-2 were permitted in March 2016. Construction began in June 2016. Operation was planned for 2018.[8]

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.[9] Unit 2 was commissioned in October 2019.[10]

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.[11]

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.[12].

Project approval was granted in October 2023[13].

In May 2024, a project investment announcement was made[14]. In August 2024, the EIA report was approved[15]. In December 2024, a project company was established[16].

In October 2025, a feasibility study review meeting was held[17]. In December 2025, a construction ceremony was held[18].

In April 2026, a major equipment tender was issued[19]; the contract was awarded in May 2026[20]. In June 2026, a preliminary design review meeting was held[21].
