Shanxi Coal Hequ power station
{{#badges:CoalSwarm|Navbar-Chinacoal}} The Shanxi Coal Hequ power station (山西焦煤中机国能山煤河曲能源公司) is a proposed 700-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Shanxi province, China.
Shanxi Coal International Energy Group has also announced that a 350 MW coal plant employing carbon capture and storage technology will be built in Taiyuan. It is not known whether that plant will share the same location.

Background on Plant
Shanxi Coal International Energy Group has proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each. The environmental impact assessment was approved in 2014.[1][2][3]
The power station is under construction and planned for 2017.[4]
2017: Plant halted by government
In July 2017, the NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) are ordered to slow down the construction progress during 2017 to 2020, and are not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[5]
Shanxi Coal Hequ power station Units 1-2 are among the halted coal-burning units,[5] and also appeared on an updated list of halted projects released in September 2017.[6]

CCS plant
Shanxi Coal International Energy Group has also announced that a 350 MW coal plant employing carbon capture and storage technology will be built in Taiyuan. It is not known whether that plant will share the same location.[7]
