Background on Plant

The three existing coal-fired units of Huaneng East Hailar power station total 150 MW. They were commissioned from 1983 to 2005. The plant is owned by China Huaneng. The plant's first two units have been retired.

Description of Expansion

Two additional coal-fired units at the plant, totaling 1,200 MW, units 6-7, were proposed in China's Twelfth Five-Year Plan 16 (2011).

A feasibility study was released in 2012 for two 350 MW supercritical coal units.

2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
