Background on Project

China Guodian (now National Energy Investment Group) planned to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 600 MW in Shandong Province.

The project was first announced in 2010, but as of December 2017 has yet to receive any permits. It appears to be abandoned.

Ownership

On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer. The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.
