Background
Xiangtan power station is a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,800 MW. The plant was completed between 1998 and 2007, and is owned by Datang.[2]
Phase III Units 3 and 4 were in development. In 2025, a proposal for the project was published, and an EIA consulting tender was issued.[3][4]
In 2026, the project was discussed again, and a formal feasibility study tender was issued in July.[5][6]
