Background on Project

In February 2009, SDIC and Panjiang Investment Holdings co-founded SDIC Panjiang Electricity Generation Co, with 55% owned by SDIC and 45% by Panjiang Investment Holding.[1] The goal of the company is to develop waste coal power plants in Panjiang and Shuicheng.[2]

In 2016, the companies proposed a new 2 x 660MW plant named Liupanshui Circling Economy demonstrating power station.[3] The power station completed its preliminary feasibility study in January 2016. It will be a waste coal ultra-supercritical power plant.[4]

There were no further developments on the project after 2016, when the central government implemented the traffic light policy, which prohibited new coal plant development throughout most of China's provinces, including Guizhou. (For details, see China's Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.)

The power station was shelved in 2018.

However, in March 2019, Guizhou was given the green light for new coal plants. In February 2020, unit listings implied that the project or a related one could be revived as a 2 x 330 MW coal plant. Read more about the Liupanshui Dawan Waste Coal power station. [5] [6] Ultimately, the following three plants were mentioned in the 2023-2025 Guizhou coal power projects development plan:[7]


The power station was presumed cancelled in 2022.
