Background

Sinopec Anqing power station was a five-unit coal-fired power plant. Units 1 and 2 have been retired, leaving units 3-5 with a total capacity of 150 MW (3 x 50 MW). The three units of the plant were completed from 1990 to 2013.[1] The plant is owned by Sinopec.[2]

Two new 35 MW units were permitted in March 2020.[3] Construction was underway in 2021.[4][5]

In May 2023, the power station appeared to enter a year-long test run, set to complete around March 2024.[6]
