Background on Project

According to a World Resources Institute report (2012), China Guodian is currently planning to build a coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,800 MW in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.[1] The plant is referred to by WRI as "Guodian Xilinhaote Phases II and III," so it seems that this is an addition to an existing Guodian Xilinhaote-1 plant.

There have been no reports of further activity to develop those plans, and they appear to be shelved or 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.[2][3] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[4]
