Background

The two existing coal-fired units of the Yanshanhu power station, totaling 1,200 MW, were brought online between 2011 and 2012. The plant was owned by CPI. In 2012, CPI was planning to build four additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 4,000 MW.[1]

Proposed expansion

Long-term plans called for an additional four units of 1,000 MW each.[2] However, with no known developments, they appeared to be deferred or abandoned.

Ownership

In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.[3]
