Background
Yangquan Coal Group has proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each. The project began construction in 2014.[3][4]
July 2017: Plant halted by government
In July 2017 China's NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) are ordered to slow down the construction progress during 2017 to 2020, and are not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[5]
Shouyang power station Units 1-2 are among the halted coal-burning units,[5] and also appeared on an updated list of halted projects released in September 2017.[6]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Planet Satellite photos from August 2017 to April 2018 suggests construction stopped after the suspension.
Revival
In November 2020, Hebei Construction & Investment Group bought shares in the project and became the majority shareholder (51%). News said the power plant would supply electricity to the Hebei grid.[7] Operation was planned for August 2021.
By 2021, the owner appeared to have changed again and the project status was uncertain.[8]
However, the project was featured in the Shanxi Province Major project list in 2022, indicating it was clearly still under consideration.[9]
As of June 2022, Planet satellite imagery also showed some construction progress at the site. The power station was presumed under construction again.
On 19 July 2023, unit 1 successfully completed 168 hours run and entered commercial operation.[10]
