Background on Project

Datang Ordos Silicon & Aluminum Technology Co of China Datang is proposing a 2 x 350 MW captive coal-fired power station in Dalu Town, Junggar Banner. It was permitted for construction in March 2013.

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.
