Background on Project
Guangdong Yudean Group is currently building a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW in Guangdong Province.[6][7][8][9][10]
Unit 1 was completed in 2015,[11] and Unit 2 in June 2016.[12]
Expansion
In May 2020, plans were announced for a 2 x 1,000 MW expansion at the plant. Construction was planned for 2021.[13] The expansion was listed in the Guangdong Major Development Projects of 2020 as a Major Preliminary Project.[14]
The two units were permitted on August 25, 2022.[15] In November 2022, construction reportedly began.[16]
In 2023, the chimney was topped out in October, and the boiler beam was hoisted in October. In January 2024, the cooling tower was topped out. In April 2024, turbine foundation concrete was poured. In April 2024, boiler heating surface hoisting was completed. In October 2024, the chimney inner cylinders were topped out. In April 2025, the plant power system was energized. In April 2025, boiler hydrostatic test succeeded. In September 2025, boiler ignition succeeded. In November 2025, grid connection succeeded. Unit 3 completed its 168-hour trial run in December 2025[17].
In November 2023, the beam was hoisted. In March 2024, heating surface hoisting began. In June 2024, the cooling tower was topped out. In August 2024, the turbine bearing was placed. In October 2024, the high-pressure heater was placed. In December 2024, the generator stator was placed. In May 2025, the boiler hydrostatic test passed. In July 2025, turbine cylinder work was completed. In October 2025, boiler ignition succeeded. Unit 4 completed its 168-hour trial run in December 2025[18].
