Background on Plant

Xuanwei power station is a six-unit coal-fired power station totaling 1,800 MW and commissioned in 2000 to 2007. The plant was originally majority-owned by China Guodian. Four smaller units were retired by 2001.

In November 2019, it was reported that Xuanwei Thermal Power Plant went bankrupt. The plant will not stop operation during the liquidation.

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. The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.
