Background
Jinneng Group Co. proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each.[2]
The power station was planned for operation in 2017,[3][4] 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.[5]
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.[6] In fall 2022, the project parent was questioned about the project by the China Securities Regulatory Committee.[7] In 2023, the project was included in the Shanxi Province list of key thermal power projects.[8] While the project was first permitted in 2015,[9][10] reports in 2021 and 2022 implied that the project's permits were still valid, and that its progress had simply been postponed.[11][8]
The project was revived in 2023 and construction progressed, with major milestones including a boiler water pressure test in September 2025.[12][13]
Unit 1 was connected to the grid in June 2026 and passed its 168-hour trial run in July 2026.[14][15]
Unit 2's turbine was successfully spun in July 2026.[16]
