  • Unit 3: 25 MW (Operating, start date is unclear)
  • Unit 4: 150 MW (Operating, start date is unclear)
  • Unit 5: 50 MW (Operating, start-up in 2003)
  • Unit 6: 50 MW (Operating, start-up in 2004)
  • Unit 7: 60 MW (Operating, start-up in 2005)
  • Unit 8: 50 MW (Retired - start-up in 2008 and retired in 2021)
  • Unit 9: 50 MW (Retired - start-up in 2009 and retired in 2021)
  • Unit 10: 50 MW (Operating)

Expansion

A new 350 MW supercritical unit has been proposed.[5] However, with no developments since 2016, the proposed unit appears to be cancelled.

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
