Background on Plant

This project was originally planned as the third phase of the Nanhai Foshan power station. But due to local protest for its pollution, it was moved to a new location in Zhanjiang.[1][2]

The power station received environmental clearance in April 2015.[3] Construction began in September 2015. Operation is planned for 2018.[4]

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 Zhanjiang Donghai, due to excess coal capacity. Construction is therefore halted until further notice.[5]
