Background on Project

Yunhe power station was a six-unit subcritical coal plant totaling 1,240 MW in Changgou Town majority-owned by China Huaneng. It was commissioned from 2000 to 2006. Although units 5-6 started operating in 2006, they were not permitted until 2016, and were therefore operating illegally.[1]

The province issued a notice about 2022 retirements in January 2023 generally.[2] Two units may have retired at the site in 2022, presumably units 1 and 2.
