Background

Gansu Electric Power Investment and China Datang (proportion of the investment is: GEPIC 75%; China Datang 25%) added two 330 MW units to the Gansu Yongchang power station, at a different location and named as Jinchang power station. The two units were permitted for construction by NDRC in November 2013, and went into operation in 2013 and 2014.[1][2] It is a CHP power plant, supplying heat to 8 million square meters households of the Jinchang economic zone.

Right after the power plant's operation, it was fined by the provincial Environmental Protection authority for not building sufficient waste water treatment facilities as it promised in its EIA report. It also violated regulations by pouring the wastewater into an untreated pond. [3]
