Background on Project
China Guodian is planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 700 MW in Handan. The plant was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2013.[1][2] It will supply heat in winter to 1200 million square meters of residential households in the city of Handan. [3]
2017: Plant postponed by government
In July 2017, China's NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) are ordered to slow down the construction progress during 2017 to 2020, and are not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[4]
Handan Eastern Outskirt Cogen power station Units 1-2 are among the postponed coal-burning units,[4] and also appeared on an updated list of postponements released in September 2017.[5]

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.[6][7] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[8]
2019: Power station commissioned
The power station was reportedly completed and operating in January 2018;[9] [10][3] however, news appeared again in 2019 that the two units had been commissioned.[11][12]
