Background

The existing power station consist of two 12 MW units, commissioned in 2005. It is owned by China Huaneng.

Description of Expansion

China Huaneng was seeking permitting for a 2 x 350 MW expansion in 2013.

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Huaneng Zhalantun. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
