Background on Plant

China Datang and partners have proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each. The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2014.

Land clearing and prep work began in 2015.

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Datang Shanxi Anyu. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

2018: Project advancing

In July 2018 China Energy Construction Shanxi won the bid for the survey and design of the plant, with construction expected to begin soon.
