Background

China Datang has proposed a power station of 1,320 MW in Huan County. It is a coal-electricity integrity project. A pre-feasibility study has been carried out. The location of the plant has been confirmed by the authorities.

The plant received EIA clearance in June 2016, and was permitted for construction in July 2016.

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects, including Huan County power station. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.

For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
