- Permit(s): March 2020
Background
Shaanxi Yulin Energy Group has proposed a 2 x 1,000 MW coal plant in Dianta Town.[1]
Suspension
In 2016 China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released guidelines for regulating coal power development to crack down on the severe and growing coal power overcapacity crisis. Shaanxi was among the provinces declared a "red light" that should suspend new permitting of coal plants, as well as construction that began in 2016 or later. Construction of units 1-2 of Yanghuopan power station are likely suspended under the guidelines.
For details, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Project moves forward despite suspension
Despite the red light policy in Shaanxi, and not appearing to qualify for any exemptions, the project was reported to be undergoing preliminary work in December 2017. It has also been downsized to 2 x 660 MW.[2]
May 2018: Red light lifted
In May 2018 China's NEA changed Shaanxi from a red light province to a green light, suggesting the plant would be allowed to move forward and secure permitting.[3]
March 2020: Project permitted
The project was permitted in March 2020. Construction is planned to begin in August 2020, with operation planned for 2022.[4]
May 2020: Construction begins
Construction began in May 2020.[5]
Progress in 2021
In 2021, it was reported that construction of the power station was in advanced stages.[6] It was expected that operation would begin within the year 2022.[7]
2022-2023: Construction completed and operation begins
On Dec. 30, 2022, Unit 1 was connected to the grid and entered commercial operation in February 2023.[8][9] In May 2023, Unit 2 was also successfully connected to the grid and entered commercial operation by the end of the month.[9][10]
