Huaneng Zhengning power station (华能甘肃能源正宁电厂) is a proposed 1,320-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant in Gansu Province, China.
Longer-term plans call for an additional 4,000 MW.

Background on Project
China Huaneng is currently planning to build a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW in Gansu Province.[1] The plant was permitted in 2014.[2][3]
An additional 4,000 MW has been proposed.[4] In the "13th 5-year Energy Development Plan for Gansu Province", issued in September 2017, the second phase of Zhengning power plant is a back-up supporting coal power plant for the Eastern Gansu UHV transmission line. The feasibility study has been completed.[5]
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 Huaneng Zhengning. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.[6]
For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Despite the restriction, Gansu Province is pushing the project forward, while China Huaneng is reluctant to pursue the project due to poor market conditions and uncertain coal supply.[7]
