Background

The two existing supercritical units of Shenxi power station, totaling 660 MW, were brought online in 2012. The plant is owned by China Guodian.[6]

Phase II Units 1 and 2 are under construction. In 2024, the project was permitted in August and appeared on national key lists.[7]

In 2025, site preparation and equipment tenders were issued.[8][9]

In 2026, main construction contracts were awarded, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held in April.[10]

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.[11][12] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[13]
