Background on Project

CHALCO and China Resources have proposed a 2 x 660 MW waste coal power station in Weijiatan Town, Xing County.[1]

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects with a total capacity of over 100GW in 13 provinces, including Zhongrun Xing. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.[2]
