Background on Project

China Resources is currently planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 700 MW in Hebei Province. The project was originally approved for 600 MW but was subsequently increased. It is a heat and electricity cogeneration power plant, using sea water instead of fresh water as sources.

The power station was completed in 2015.
