Background
Xibaipo power station is a six-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 2,400 MW. The plant was completed between 1993 and 2006, and is majority-owned by Hebei Construction & Investment Group.[6]
As of May 2018, Units 1-2 were referred to as Phase I, Units 3-4 were referred to as Phase II and Units 5-6 were referred to as Phase III.[7]
In April 2023, a single-unit 660 MW Phase IV was approved at Xibaipo power station. The unit would use ultra-supercritical technology.[8]
Phase IV Units 7 and 8 are under construction. In 2023, the project was permitted, and its energy assessment was approved.[9]
In 2024, the project appeared on Hebei's key project list, and the EPC contract was awarded in September.[10] A groundbreaking ceremony was held in November.
The first concrete was poured for the main building in March 2025.[11][12] In 2025, boiler steel structures were erected for Unit 7, and Unit 8's construction also began.[13][14]
In 2026, both units achieved significant progress, including generator stator lifts, boiler pressure tests, and unit power-on events.[15][16][17]
