Background
Shanghai Caojing power station is a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 2,000 MW in Shanghai Province. The plant was completed in 2010, and was originally majority-owned by CPI.[5][6][7]
In August 2023, a 2 x 1,000 MW Phase II of Shanghai Caojing power station was reportedly approved.[1]
Phase II Units 3 and 4 are under construction.
In October 2023, the project appeared on Shanghai's key projects list.[8][9]
In 2024, major equipment contracts were awarded, and the first concrete was poured in August.[10][11]
In 2025 and 2026, the project reached significant milestones like boiler board beam lifts, chimney topping, generator stator placements, and boiler pressure tests.[12][13][14][15]
Ownership
In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.[16]
