Background on Project
Shenhua Group (now National Energy Investment Group) has proposed a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 2,100 MW in Hunan Province.[3][4][5]
The plant was permitted in August 2014.[6][7]
The 13th Energy Five Year Plan (2016-2020) of Hunan province states the power station is planned for completion within the Plan period (by 2020).[8]
Planet satellite photos show little to no construction as of April 2018.
Construction was reported in October 2018.[9]
Unit 1 was commissioned in October 2021,[10] and unit 2 in November 2021.[11]
Phase II Units 3 and 4 are in the early stages of development. In 2024, the project was under discussion, and in 2025, a review meeting was held.[12][13][14] As of mid‑2026, the project was still being assessed.[15]
