Background on Project

China Kinho has proposed a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The project feasibility report was submitted in 2011. The project was still seeking permitting in 2015.

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 Weizhou wastecoal power station. The project was reported as 2 x 350 MW. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.
