Phase I
Guodian Fengcheng power station was initially a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,360 MW in Jiangxi Province.[1][2]
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.[3][4] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[5]
Phase II
Two coal-fired units of Ganneng Fengcheng, totaling 1,400 MW, were completed in 2007. The units were owned by Jiangxi Provincial Investment Group.[6]
Phase III
Jiangxi Provincial Investment Group & SDIC started to build a 2 x 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical expansion of the power station, known as Fengcheng power station phase three. Operation was planned for 2017-2018.[6]
Scaffold Collapse Kills Scores of Workers
On November 24, 2016, a scaffolding collapse killed at least 73 people working on the cooling tower. Li Yihuang, a vice governor of Jiangxi province, promised an investigation.[7]
2017: Plant halted by government
In July 2017, the NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) are ordered to slow down the construction progress during 2017 to 2020, and are not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[8]
Ganneng Fengcheng power station Units 1-2 are among the halted coal-burning units,[8] and also appeared on an updated list of halted projects released in September 2017.[9]

2018: Construction planned to resume in 2019
In December 2018 it was reported that construction on the plant is planned to resume in March 2019.[10]
2019: Construction resumes
In November 2019, it was reported that construction had resumed on the project.[11]
2022: Operation
Unit 7 began operating in July 2022[12] and Unit 8 in December 2022.[13]
