Background on Project
Wucaiwan Bei'er is a 2 x 660 MW ultra-supercritical coal plant under construction in Wucaiwan Town. It was planned for operation in 2017,[1] although Planet satellite photos show construction ongoing through April 2018.
An additional 2 x 660 MW was permitted for construction in 2015.[2] Construction on units 3-4 of the plant began in 2017.[3]
Unit 3 was commissioned on July 24, 2019.[4]
Unit 4 was commissioned in August 2019.[5]
Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
In 2016 China's National Energy Administration issued "scale control" (coal-fired capacity limits) on particular "sending out" locations that feed ultra-high voltage (UHV) long-distance power lines, including Inner Mongolia (Xilingong), Inner Mongolia (Ordos), Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi, and Xinjiang.[6]
As of January 2017, the affected area in Xinjiang includes Wucaiwan Bei'er power station, which may be scaled down as a result.
For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Ownership
In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.[7]
