Background

Heshun power station is a proposed 2 x 350 MW waste coal plant in Heshun County.

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 Heshun power station. In response, Shanxi International Energy Group voluntarily cancelled the coal plant.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
