Background on Plant

Jinneng Group Co, has proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each.[1]

The power station was planned for operation in 2017,[2][3] but as of 2016 has yet to be permitted.

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 Zhongyang. It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.[4]
