Background
The two existing coal-fired units of Tonghua Xuangang power station, totaling 1,320 MW, were brought online in 2010. The plant is owned by Datong Coal Mining Group.[5][6]
Description of Expansion
Datong Coal is currently planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW. The new units were scheduled to be completed in 2015,[7][8] but as of June 2015 the units have yet to receive environmental clearance for construction.[9]
Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Tonghua Xuangang. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.[10]
For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
2019: Project revived
In April 2019, Zhangze Power said that units 3-4 had been removed from the central government's list of postponed projects.[11]
As of July 2020, the expansion was expected to begin construction in 2021.[12]
In July 2022, with no apparent developments in over two years, Units 3 and 4 were presumed to be shelved.
In 2024, Phase II Units 3 and 4 were revived and received government approval, with progress seen in tenders for adjustment studies and a feasibility review.[13] In December 2024, the project received official approval from the Shanxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission.[14]
In 2025, tenders for EPC and other services were issued.[15]
Construction began in 2026, with the boiler steel structure for Unit 3 being erected by April.[16][17]
