Background

The first two units of the power station, totaling 24 MW, were built in 1999 and retired in 2008. Units 3 and 4, totaling 250 MW, were brought online in 2006 and are located within the city. Units 5 and 6 (2 x 330 MW) were completed in 2011 but at a new location north of the city. The plant is owned by China Huadian.

Units 3-4 were retired in May 2018.
