Background on Plant
The two existing coal-fired units of Luoyang Mengjin power station, totaling 1,200 MW, were brought online in 2011. The plant was originally owned by Shenhua Group.[1]
Proposed expansion
Shenhua was planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW.[2][3]
Suspension
In March 2016 China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released guidelines for regulating coal power development to crack down on the severe and growing coal power overcapacity crisis. 13 provinces were told to suspend new approvals through 2017, including Henan. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Ownership
On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[4][5] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[6]
