Background on Plant

The two existing coal-fired units of Dengkou power station, totaling 660 MW, were brought online in 2009. The plant is majority-owned by China Resources.

Description of Expansion

China Resources is currently planning to build at least two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW.

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.
