Hefeng power station (神华国能和丰发电厂) is an operating power station of at least 600-megawatts (MW) in Heshituoluogai (Hoxtolgay), Hoboksar Mongol Autonomous County, Ili, Xinjiang, China with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Shenhua Tacheng power station (Phase II Unit 3, Phase II Unit 4), Tacheng power plant (Phase I Unit 1, Phase I Unit 2).

Background
Hefeng power station is a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 600 MW in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Both units entered operation in 2012, but it did not receive a permit from Xinjiang Regional DRC until February 2016.[1] The plant was originally owned by State Grid Energy Development Company, which became part of Shenhua Group in 2012.[2][3]
Expansion
Shenhua Group is planning to add two additional units of 660 MW each.[4]
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 appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
With no developments since 2015, the project appears to be cancelled.
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]
