Xingning power station (华润电力兴宁公司) is a retired 270-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Guangdong Province, China.

Two new units totaling 700 MW were planned at the location, but appear to be shelved.

Background on Plant

The two coal-fired units of Xingning power station, totaling 270 MW, were brought online in 2006 and 2007; they run on anthracite coal. The plant is owned by China Resources.

Both units were retired in September 2017.

Description of Expansion

China Resources were planning to build two additional waste coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 700 MW.

However, with no developments since 2014, the project appears to be abandoned.
