Background

The Longchuan power station (also known as the Yangquan Nanmei Longchuan power plant) began construction in April 2007 and was completed in 2008, with Unit 1 (135 MW) connected to the grid in August 2008, and Unit 2 (135 MW) connected in November 2008. With a total investment is 1.48 billion RMB from the Nanmei Group and Yangquan Coal Group, the estimated annual output value of the facility is around 400 million RMB. It is scheduled to be shut down in April 2037.

Pollution Fine

In December, 2016, the Shanxi province's “Iron Fist Pollution Control Action” team conducted on-site inspections of 11 enterprises and construction sites in the suburbs of Yangquan City, Yuxian County, and Pingding County. Yangquan City punished 9 large enterprises - including the Longchuan Power station - with a total fine of 5.399 million RMB for not adhering to local emissions standards.

Emissions Control

In 2017, the operators invested nearly 100 million RMB in emissions technology to meet environmental standards; they implemented retrofits for desulfurization, denitrification and dust removal technologies on both units.
