Background
Zhanjiang power station is a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,320 MW. The plant was completed between 1995 and 2000, and is owned by Guangdong Yudean Group.[3][4]
In 2022, a new "relocated" 2 x 1,000 MW project was proposed, likely to replace or partly replace older units.[5]
Relocated Unit 1 had a feasibility study tender completed in 2023[6]. No news emerged in 2024, and the project was shelved in November[7]. No news emerged in 2025[8]. In April 2026, the project appeared in a list of planned power projects, and its status was changed to "announced"[9].
