Background
The two existing coal-fired units of Changzhou power station, totaling 1,260 MW, were brought online in 2006.[1]
Description of Expansion
China Guodian was planning to add two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total capacity of 1,320 MW.[2]
With no development since July 2014, the proposal appeared to be shelved or cancelled.
However, in 2022, the proposal was revived. It was expanded from 2 x 660 MW to 2 x 1,000 MW.[3]
The project was permitted in October 2022 and construction ceremony was held in November 2022 but concrete was poured into the main structure foundation of unit 3 at the end of June 2023[4][5][6] and unit 4 at the end of August 2023.[7][8]
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.[9][10] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[11]
