Background

Tianjin Dagang power station is a four-unit coal-fired power station totaling 1,312 MW. It was commissioned from 1991 to 2005, and was originally owned by Shenhua Group.[1]

Replacement capacity

A replacement capacity project was listed in Tianjin's 14th Five-Year-Plan for the Energy Sector in December 2021 ("按照国家部署要求,积极推动大港电厂现役机组退而不拆作为应急备用电源" (...) "推动实施国华盘山电厂机组延寿及创新升级改造项目和大港电厂减容量替代项目。"). The project appeared to be available for public review around March and August 2022.[2][3]

The project was permitted on November 23, 2022 (津发改许可〔2022〕96号).[4] The capacity was in Tianjin's 2023 work plan.[5]

Ownership

On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[6][7] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[8]
