Background

Ligang power station is an eight-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 3,980 MW. The plant was completed in three phases between 1993 and 2008, and is majority-owned by Sunspark Power Investment.[7][8][9]

Phase V Proposal

In January 2023, the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission had an additional 2 x 1,000 MW of power under consideration at the site.[10] An environmental impact assessment was underway.[11] In February 2023, a feasibility study meeting was held.[12]

On June 30, 2023, the expansion was approved by the Jiangsu Provincial Development and Reform Commission (苏发改能源发〔2023〕717号, portal update timestamp: 2023/07/12).[13]

In September 2023, the main machinery contracts were awarded[14], and the project commenced in October[15]. The EIA was approved in October 2023[16]. In January 2024, the EPC contract was awarded[17], and the first concrete was poured on January 31[18]. In April, concrete for Unit 10's boiler foundation was poured[19], and in May the boiler for Unit 10 was hoisted[20]. In November, the boiler beam for Unit 10 was hoisted[21].

In March 2025, the main plant roof for Unit 9 was completed[22]. In August, the cooling tower for Unit 9 was topped out[23], and the generator stator for Unit 10 was hoisted[24]. In November, steam flushing for Unit 9 was completed[25], and flushing for Unit 10 was also completed[26]. In December, Unit 10 passed the 168-hour trial[27], followed by Unit 9 in January 2026[28]. Units 1 and 2 were mothballed in March 2026[29].
