Background on Plant

China Huaneng proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each in the city of Fukang. The company said construction is planned to begin in 2014, although the permit for project approval and permitting was submitted in July 2014.

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 with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Fukang Second. 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.
