Background on Project

China Datang has proposed to build a coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,400 MW in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The environmental impact assessment for the first two units were submitted in 2012.

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.

Between the restrictions and lack of development since 2012, the project is likely cancelled.
