Background
Chongqing Power Station was built in 1952. After seven expansions, the capacity reached 800MW in 1995. 4 units with 50MW each were retired in 1984. Units 5 and 6, totaling 400 MW, were brought online in 1986.[1]
In early 2014, as part of an effort to reduce the air pollution in the urban area, the Chongqing city government ordered the entire plant closed due to failing to meet environmental codes.[2] The last unit was reportedly shut down in 2015.[3][4]
See Chongqing Relocation power station for details about related capacity (1,320 MW).
Ownership
The plant was originally owned by Shenhua Group. 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.[5][6] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[7]
