Background on Plant

Kingsun Jieyang Cogen power station is a proposed 2 x 600 MW coal plant in Nanhai Town, sponsored by Guangdong KingSun Power. It would be ultra-supercritical. It is also a co-generation power plant, supplying heat to proposed Dananhai petrochemical industrial park.

Project suspended by central government

In January 2017 China's National Energy Board directed the Guangdong Province to suspend or postpone nine coal projects in the province, including Kingsun Jieyang, due to excess coal capacity. Progress is therefore halted until further notice.

In July 2018, the Guangdong Provincial EPA said it would not permit any coal plants for construction in 2018.
