Background on Project

The Huaibei Linshan power station is a four-unit, subcritical waste coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,260 MW, owned by Huaibei Coal Mining Group and Wenergy Group. Units 1-2 of 300 MW each were built in 2008.

Units 3-4 of 330 MW each were commissioned in 2013. Although the units began operating in 2013, they did not receive provincial DRC permits until January 2015.

Proposed expansion

Huaibei Mining Group is planning an additional 2 units as the third phase, units 5-6 totaling 1320MW of capacity. The units were proposed in 2013.

The expansion was listed in the Anhui Province Power Development 13th 5-Year Plan as a back-up project.

As of December 2019 there has been no progress on the units, and they appear to be abandoned.
