Background

Shenhua Group began constructing a 2 x 660 MW coal plant in Dajing in 2015.[1][2]

Planet satellite photos from April 2016 to April 2020 showed limited construction progress.

In April 2020 it was reported that construction on the ultra-supercritical project had resumed.[3] In January 2023, Unit 1 completed its 168-hour trial and presumably entered operation.[4]

In Aril 2023, it was reported that construction of Unit 2 was complete and it had been connected to the grid.[5] The following May, Unit 2 successfully completed its 168-hour trial and also began operation.[6][7]

Ownership

On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[8][9] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[10]
