Background on Project

China Datang was planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW in Shanxi Province. Since there have been no reports of the project since 2012, and the project is no longer mentioned in the company's annual report, it appears to have been abandoned.
