Background on Plant

Huaneng Haikou power station was a eight-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,312 MW. It is owned by China Huaneng. Units 1-2 were retired in 2008, unit 3 in 2010 and unit 4 in 2013. Units 5-6 have a combined capacity of 276 MW and were commissioned in 1999-2000. Units 7-8 have a combined capacity of 660 MW and were commissioned in 2006-2007.

Huaneng owned majority shares of Zhonghai Energy in 2004, and Zhonghai Energy's 276 MW Macun Power Plant (completed in 1990) became Units 3-4 of Huaneng Haikou Power Station, as well as units 7-8, completed in 2006-2007.

Units 5-6 are planned for retirement in 2020.

Expansion

China Huaneng has proposed adding 2 x 660 MW ultra-supercritical coal units at the power station (units 9-10). Although the project has yet to get permits, as of 2016 to 2017 there were multiple bids posted for its parts and construction.

With no developments since January 2017, the project appears to be shelved.
