Background on Project
Datong Coal Mining Group is currently planning to build a waste coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 700 MW in Shanxi Province.[1]
The power station is under construction and planned for operation in 2017.[2]
July 2017: Plant postponed 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.[3]
Shuozhou cogen power station Units 1-2 are among the postponed coal-burning units,[3] and also appeared on an updated list of postponed projects released in September 2017.[4]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
September 2017: Project substantially completed
Satellite photos from Google Earth (3/18) and Planet (9/17) show that the project is substantially completed, though apparently not operating.
2019-2020: Plant commissioned
Unit 1 was commissioned on December 6, 2019.[5] Unit 2 was commissioned on January 17, 2020.[6]
