Background on Plant

Pingguo Aluminum Smelter power station is a six-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 122 MW. The first 3 units were completed in 1996, 1998, and 2003. The next 3 units (units 4-6) were commissioned in 2008. It is owned by CHALCO.

Expansion Project

CHALCO has proposed an expansion of 1,050 MW at this plant.

In 2015, CHALCO, Guangxi Investment Co and Guangxi Baise Development Investment Group co-invested in "Guangxi Hualei New Material Company Ltd", which is developing 400 thousand-ton aluminum water project with 3*350MW coal fired power units, known as Guangxi Hualei power station.

The aluminum water project was approved by the China NDRC in 2015.

The power plant was commissioned in September 2017, along with the aluminum water project.
