Background
Xiamen Songyu power station is a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,200 MW. The plant was completed between 1996 and 2006,[6] and is owned by SDIC.[7]
In April 2020, construction of a new 600 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired unit at the plant was released for bidding.[8]
The new 600 MW unit, equivalent capacity replacement of unit 1 and 2, was permitted on December 21, 2021.[9] The construction ceremony was held on 17 November 2022[10] but the first pot of concrete was only poured into the main structure at the end of August 2023.[11][12]
In 2024, the main building was topped out, and the project's capacity was upgraded to 660MW.[13][14] The unit was connected to the grid in June 2025 and passed its 168-hour trial run in July 2025.[15][16]
Units 1 & 2 were converted to emergency backup in 2025.[17]
