Background on Project

In 2014 China Resources Power and Chongqing Energy Investment Group proposed a power station of two 660 MW units in Jinsha County. The project is part of ten 660MW generating units that the companies are planning in Bijie Prefecture, Guizhou Province.

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
