Background on CHALCO Plant
The two existing coal-fired units of Ningxia Liupanshan power station, totaling 660 MW, were permitted in 2009[3] and brought online in 2010. The plant is owned by Ningxia Electric Power Group.[4]
Background on ChinaEnergy expansion
ChinaEnergy Liupanshan power station (国能宁夏电力六盘山电厂) is a 2,000-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant proposed in Ningxia Province, China. The project's feasibility study successfully passed review as of May 2022.[5]
In March 2023, Units 3 and 4 were approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.[6]
Unit 3 had a commencement ceremony in October 2023[7], and a supervision tender was awarded[8]. In November 2023, a tender for turbine generators was issued[9].
In early 2024, the turbine generator contracts were awarded[10], and piling and main construction contracts were awarded in February-April[11]. In April, the desulfurization EPC contract was awarded[12]. In May, a tender for the DCS system was issued[13]. In June, the construction plan passed review[14], and the first concrete was poured on June 16[15]. In June, the steel structure air-cooled tower EPC contract was awarded[16], and a tender for wastewater zero discharge was issued later that month[17]. In July, the boiler acid wash for Unit 1 was completed[18]. In September, a tender for the front plant area construction was issued[19], and the first boiler steel column was hoisted[20].
In March 2025, the first steel structure air-cooled tower layer of Unit 3 was assembled[21], and the boiler heating surface welding began[22]. In May, the boiler beam was hoisted[23]. From August to September, the air-cooled tower was topped out[24].
In January 2026, the generator outer stator was hoisted[25]. In March, the boiler hydraulic test passed[26], and the generator rotor was inserted in April[27]. In May, the turbine cover for Unit 1 was completed[28].
Unit 4 had its first boiler steel frame hoisted in November 2024[29]. In April 2025, the turbine generator base was poured[30]. In January 2026, the air-cooled tower was completed[31], and the generator inner stator was installed in March[32]. In June, the generator rotor was inserted[33].
