• CPI Ningxia Zaoquan power station
• Guodian Fangjiazhuang power station
• Guodian Yinglite East Ningxia power station
• Huadian Yongli power station
• Huaneng Ningxia Weizhou power station
• Ningdong Maliantai power station
• Huadian Ningxia Lingwu power station
• Shenhua Yuanyang Lake power station
