Background
The ten-unit Shizuishan-1 power station with capacity of 286 MW was retired by 2010, and replaced with the Shizuishan-2 power station.[6]
The six existing coal-fired units of Shizuishan-2 power station, totaling 2,020 MW, were brought online between 2002 and 2006. The plant is owned by China Guodian and Ningxia Power Investment Group.[7][8]
Description of Expansion
According to a 2012 World Resources Institute report, Guodian was planning to build additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW.[9]
However, there is no mention of the plans on the website of the power plant,[10] and plans appear to have been cancelled.
Phase III Units 1 and 2 are under construction. In 2024, the project appeared on Ningxia's key projects list and was permitted in August.[11][12]
In 2025, tenders for design, equipment, and construction were issued, and first concrete was poured in October.[13][14][15]
In 2026, the project continued with boiler steel frame hoisting and other milestones.[16]
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.[17][18] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[19]
