Background on Plant
Shenhua Group has proposed a 2 x 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical coal plant for Shakou Town. The pre-feasibility study was done in 2013, and approved in August 2015. Land clearing began, with operation planned for 2018.[1]
Project suspended by central government
In January 2017 China's National Energy Board directed the Guangdong Province to suspend or postpone nine coal projects in the province, including Shenhua Qingyuan power station, due to excess coal capacity. Construction is therefore halted until further notice.[2]
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.[3][4] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[5]
