Project description
The Yulin Hengshan power station began as a proposed 2,000 MW expansion of another power station, the Yulin Yuheng power station, owned by China Huadian.[5][6]
Later the location and sponsor changed, and the power station became its own separate plant, the Yulin Hengshan power station, sponsored by Shaanxi Yulin Energy Group.[7]
The Yulin Hengshan power station was permitted in April 2016. Construction began in 2016, with a planned operation date of 2018.[8]
Unit 2 was commissioned in December 2018.[9] Unit 1 was commissioned in October 2019.[10]
Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
In 2016 China's National Energy Administration issued "scale control" (coal-fired capacity limits) on particular "sending out" locations that feed ultra-high voltage (UHV) long-distance power lines, including Inner Mongolia (Xilingong), Inner Mongolia (Ordos), Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Xinjiang.[11]
As of January 2017, the affected area includes this power station. However, this power station did not seem to be affected. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
The City of Yulin development plan (2016-2030) is available here.[12]
Expansion plans
In February 2022, the feasibility study for an expansion (Phase II) was completed.[13][14]
Phase II is presumed to be approximately 2,000 MW in capacity based on Phase I, even though there is no known evidence to confirm that is the case.
Phase II Unit 3 was mentioned in a municipal development plan in 2023[15], and a bidding for the main machinery was issued in November[16]. In 2024, the project was approved by the provincial DRC[17], preliminary design and other review meetings were held[18], the EIA was approved in June[19], EPC and other tenders were issued[20], and land acquisition was approved in October[21]. In 2025, EPC and construction contracts were awarded[22], the first concrete was poured on April 21[23], and the cooling tower X-columns were installed in August[24]. In January 2026, the boiler beam was hoisted[25] and the 3rd boiler beam installation was completed[26]. The No.1 high-pressure heater was installed in June 2026[27].
