Background on Project

China Huaneng is currently planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW in Shanxi Province. The plant is scheduled to be completed in 2016.

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.
