Background
According to owner Guangdong KingSun Power, the power station consists of two 220 MW units (built in 1998) and two 330 MW units (built in 2010), all currently operating.[1] The first phase of 2*220MW units were original fired with heavy crude oil. In 2006, after ¥500 million（$73.5 million） investment for renovation, it changed to coal water slurry, a combustible mixture of fine coal particles suspended in water. According to the company' s website, the first phase of Nanhai Foshan power station is the largest coal water slurry fired power units in the world. [1]
A proposed third phase of two 600 MW units has been moved to another city.
Description of Expansion
Jiangsu KingSun Power was planning to build additional coal-fired units at Nanhai, with a total planned capacity of 400 MW.[2]
In 2012 it was reported that the new plant would be 1200 MW and relocated in Zhanjiang due to the local residents' s protest for its potential pollution.[3][4][5] It is known as the Zhanjiang Donghai power station.[6][4]
