Background on Plant

The four existing coal-fired units of Datang Ningde power station, totaling 2,520 MW, were brought online between 2006 and 2009.The plant is owned by China Datang.

Description of Expansion

China Datang was planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW.

However, there have been no developments on the units since at least 2013, and they appear to be abandoned.

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.
