Background on Plant

The two existing coal-fired units of Datang Jingtai power station, totaling 1,320 MW, were brought online in 2009. The plant is owned by China Datang.

Description of Expansion

The designed capacity for this power plant is 2*660MW+4*1000MW. There will be 3 phases to carry out all the capacity. In 2014, the second phase with 2000MW was reported to have completed the preliminary feasibility study. But no further news since then. The expansion project seems abandoned.
