Background on Plant

The two existing coal-fired units of Huating power station, totaling 290 MW, were brought online between 2006 and 2007. The plant is owned by Sinohydro, a subsidiary of PowerChina.

Description of Expansion

PowerChina is currently planning to build additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW.

In the "13th 5-year Energy Development Plan In Gansu Province" issued in September 2017, the project is set as a back-up supporting coal power plant for the Eastern Gansu UHV transmission line.

However, there has been no developments on the units since the project feasibility study in 2014, and plans appear to be abandoned.
