Background

Jinneng Group Co. proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each.[1]

The power station was planned for operation in 2017,[2][3] but as of 2016 development was unclear.

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 Zhongyang. It was unclear when or if the projects would be revived.[4]

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

Project revived

By January 2022, it appeared the project was revived.[5] In fall 2022, the project parent was questioned about the project by the China Securities Regulatory Committee.[6] In 2023, the project was included in the Shanxi Province list of key thermal power projects.[7] While the project was first permitted in 2015,[8][9] reports in 2021 and 2022 implied that the project's permits were still valid, and that its progress had simply been postponed.[10][7]
