Background
The proposed 600 MW power station for the city of Zhangye was approved by the Gansu province to carry out preparatory work in 2014.[1]
A 2 x 350 MW coal plant was permitted and began construction in 2016.[2][3]
2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
July 2017: Plant halted by government
In July 2017 China's 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.[4]
Shandan power station Units 1-2 are among the halted coal-burning units that are suspended indefinitely,[4] and also appeared on an updated list of halted projects released in September 2017.[5]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
2018: Plant cancelled
Plans for the plant were formally called off by China's National Energy Administration (NEA) in July 2018. The NEA said the project violated both its July 2017 "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble" and its 201 traffic light policy, which issued Gansu a red light, meaning no new coal plant construction is allowed.[6]
