Background
The two existing coal-fired units of Wuhu power station, totaling 1,320 MW, were brought online in May 2008. The plant is owned by China Huadian.[3][4][5]
Description of Expansion
Huadian is planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW. The project was announced in January 2013.[6] The sponsors applied for environmental clearance in 2015.[7]
Unit 3 received a construction permit from Anhui Provincial DRC in October 2015,[8] and began construction in 2016. It is planned for operation in 2018.[9][10] Construction on unit 4 was reported in 2016,[11] but seems unlikely, since the plant has not been permitted.
Unit 3 was commissioned in December 2018.[12]
As of June 2020 there have been no developments on Unit 4, and it appears to be shelved.
Phase II Unit 4 was revived. In 2025, the project's EIA was initiated and the project revived.[13] A public consultation for the project was held in March, and a water and soil conservation plan was published in July.[14]
No further news was reported by 2026.
