Datang Anhui Huainan Tianjia'an power station (大唐淮南田家庵发电厂) is a 640-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Anhui province, China.
Two additional units of 1,000 MW each are proposed at a different location in Gaohuang Town, 7km away.

Location
The photo below shows the location of the plant, in Huainan City, Anhui Province. As of November 2014, the photo showed only two units of the plant to be operating (Units 13 and 14, each 300 MW). Units 1-12 have all been retired.
Background on Plant
Huainan Tianjia'an power station was founded in October 1941. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the plant went through several expansions. The first phase of eight units has been retired. Phase II consisted of units 1-4 of 120 to 137.5 MW each, which were commissioned in 1972 to 1977 and retired in 2007, and Units 5-6 of 320 MW each that were commissioned in 1996 and 2005.[1]
In 2008, units 5-6 converted to CHP units, and started to supply heating in the winter to Huainan City.[2]
Phases
The plant was built in two phases:
Phase I:
- Units 1-8 - retired
Phase II:
- Units 1 - 4 - retired
- Unit 5 - 320 MW - operating 1996
- Unit 6 - 320 MW - operating 2005
Proposed expansion
In 2012 the company began developing two new 1,000 MW units.[3] Feasibility reports were completed in January 2013.[4]
In February 2016 the Anhui government said it was still debating environmental clearance for the the project, given the changing national economy and slowdown in demand for coal power.[5]
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.
Company ownership
In 1999 Anhui Electric Power Co. was established, and in 2002 Tianjia'an Power became part of Datang.[1]
