Project-level coal details

  • Permit(s): July 31, 2015, July 2022[3], July 2022[3]

Background on Project

SDIC & Zhongyu Guoxin Energy proposed a 2,000 MW power station in Neixiang County around 2014.[4][5] The power station was permitted in July 2015,[6] and the power station was under construction that year.[7]

2017: Plant postponed by government

In July 2017, the NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) are ordered to slow down the construction progress during 2017 to 2020, and are not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[8]

Nanyang Neixiang power station Units 1-2 were among the postponed coal-burning units,[8] and also appeared on an updated list of postponements released in September 2017.[9]

For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

2018: Construction ongoing

Satellite photos from July 2017 to April 2018 showed construction was ongoing at the plant.

2020: Plant commissioned

Unit 1 was commissioned in January 2020.[10][11]

Unit 2 was commissioned in June 2021.[12]

Expansion

In September, public review for a 2 x 1,000 MW expansion was underway.[13] The project also appeared featured in a related list.[14]

In November 2022, a ceremony was reportedly held to mark the beginning of construction.[15] It was unclear if the power station had received a permit, and presumed that any work was only preliminary.
