Background on Project

In 2014 Anshun Dingxin (Huangguoshu) Aluminum proposed a captive power station of 725 MW (two 350 MW units and one 25 MW back-up) to fuel its aluminum production in Xixiu District.

In 2014 it was reported the project was facing obstacles when seeking land and finance.

As of 2017 it appears the company has abandoned the project, instead buying electricity directly from Guodian Anshun power station and Panxian-1 power station for a lower price.
