Background on Project
In 2016, Shaanxi Zaokuang Hongdunjie Coal Power Company was granted environmental clearance to build a 2 x 660 MW ultra-supercritical coal plant in Hongdunjie Town, Jingbian County.[1]
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.[2]
As of January 2017, the affected area includes this power station, which may be scaled down as a result.
For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Commissioning postponed to 2020
In May 2017 it was reported that commissioning was planned for December 2017,[3] however in February 2018 it was reported the power station is planned for operation in December 2020,[4] perhaps in response to the scale control restrictions.
However, as of January 2021, the power station has still not begun construction.
2021: Construction begins
Construction on the coal plant began in May 2021.[5]
