Background on Project

China Guodian is currently planning to build a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW in Liaoning Province.[1]

Plans for Anshan North power station and Anshan South power station have been proposed since 2008.[2] The project is to be completed in three phases.[3]

Anshan power station is mentioned as part of Liaoning Province's "Twelfth Five Year Plan" (2014),[4] and an environmental impact statement for two Anshan units (presumably Anshan North power station) was submitted in 2009.[5]

Ownership

On August 28 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[6][7] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[8]

Suspension

In March 2016 China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released guidelines for regulating coal power development to crack down on the severe and growing coal power overcapacity crisis. 13 provinces were told to suspend new approvals through 2017, including Liaoning Province.
