Background

The original Tianfu West power station consisted of seven small subcritical coal-fired units. Units 6-7 of 50 MW each were commissioned in 2003-2004. The power station is in western Shihezi city. It is owned by Xinjiang Tianfu Thermoelectric Company.

Four new 135 MW units at the power station went into operation in 2013.

The power station was retired from 2016 to 2018.
