Background on Project

Bole Xinyou Cogen power station is a proposed 2 x 350 MW supercritical coal plant for Bole, sponsored by Shaxi Xinyou Investment Group.

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 Bole Xinyou. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.

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