Background on Plant

Yangzonghai power station is a four-unit coal-fired power station totaling 1,000 MW and commissioned in 1997-2008. The plant was originally majority-owned by China Guodian. In January 1993, the State Council approved the removal of the original plant (5 X 120 MW) and installation of two two 200-MW sets. The first was built with Russian equipment.[1]

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.[2][3] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[4]
