Background
The two existing coal-fired units of Guodian Penglai power station, totaling 660 MW (or 600 MW based on government sources), were brought online in 2006. The plant is owned by China Guodian.[1]
Description of Expansion
Guodian planned to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,340 MW.[2][3]
2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appeared to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Expansion project revived
As of June 2023, the plan to build two additional units at Guodian Penglai power station was revived. The expansion had an updated capacity of 2 x 1,000 MW. The project was approved by the Shandong Provincial Development and Reform Commission.[4]
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.[5][6] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[7]
