Background on Plant

Xinhui Shuangshui power station is a 2 x 150 MW coal plant commissioned in 2004. It is a co-generating power plant, supplying heat and steam to Yinhuzhou Papermaking Industry Park, besides electricity generation. The 4 older units with a total capacity of 100 MW were completed in 1992 and retired in 2009.

Description of Expansion

Xinhui Shuangshui Power Company is planning to build an additional 2*600MW units. One of the 2 units has received EIA clearance and NDRC permit. It planned to be operating in 2018. The other unit is still seeking permit.

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 this one, due to excess coal capacity.
