Background

The original power station, consisting of four units, have been retired. The power station is now known as Yangliuqing power station. Its units 1-4 (2x350MW and 2x300MW) started operation in 1998 to 2007. The plant is majority-owned by China Huaneng.[1]

Description of Expansion

Huaneng reports that it is planning to build three additional units, units 5-7 of 600 MW each, bringing the total capacity of the power station to over 3,000 MW.[2]

In 2012 it was reported that the units are being fueled with gas rather than coal.[3]
