Background on Project

In 2009 Puda Coal signed a letter of intent with the Shanxi government to restructure six coal mines and build a 270 MW (2 x 135 MW) waste coal-fired power plant in Shanxi Province.

Later the project changed hands to China Datang, and the size was changed to 2 x 330 MW.

The power station began operating in 2014.
