Background

Bayi Zaozhuang power station began as a 2 x 24 MW coal plant in High Tech Development District, Zaozhuang Prefecture.

Expansion

In 2014 Zaozhuang Bayi Cogen Power Co. proposed adding two coal-fired units of 350 MW subcritical units each.

Unit 3 was approved for construction in January 2015, and commissioned in February 2018.

With no developments since 2014, unit 4 appears to be cancelled.
