Background on Plant
Lianzhou power station was a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 520 MW. The plant was completed in 2000-2004. With 8 sonsors, the plant was owned by Guangdong Yudean Group.[1]
The full plant was retired in 2013, after only 9 years operation, due to the “scandal of blood lead”, a break of high level of blood lead among the local children. In 2012, a news report said that more than 100 children in Xingzi Town, where the power plant located were found high level of lead in their blood test. The local residents blamed the polluted water emission from the plant was the cause. To cool down the anger from the public, the provincial government ordered the plant to shut down. [2][3] [4]
