Background

Tianye power station is an eight-unit coal-fired captive power plant with a total capacity of 1,800 MW in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It is owned by Xinjiang Tianye Group, supplying both electricity and heat to the company's aluminum smelter. The first six units, totaling 200 MW, were retired in 2015. Units 7-10, totaling 540 MW, were completed between 2006 and 2008.[1]

Units 11 & 12, totaling 600 MW, were completed in 2010-2011.[2][3][4]

Units 13 & 14, totaling 660 MW, were completed in 2014.[5][6]

Units 7-10 (4 x 135 MW) were retired in 2018.[7]
