Background on Project

CPI Fenyi power station comprises three operating units, Unit 7 (100 MW, built in 2003), Unit 8 (210 MW, built in 2006), and Unit 9 (330 MW, built in 2009). All three are subcritical and use bituminous coal. Units 1-6 are retired.

CPI has proposed a 2 x 660 MW expansion (Units 10 and 11). The project was permitted for construction in September 2015.

The project was reported as under construction in October 2015, but construction never began. Construction is now planned to begin in 2017 and operation in 2019.

Construction began in June 2018.

Ownership

In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.
