Background
The Heyuan Power Plant Project is a joint venture of Shenzhen Energy Group and Hong Kong’s Hopewell Holdings.[1] It's a 2 x 600 MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plant built in Heyuan City. Unit 1 and Unit 2 commenced operation in January 2009 and August 2009, respectively.[2]
Expansion
An EIA for a 2 x 1,000 MW expansion of the power station was submitted in April 2015.[3] The estimated cost is 8 billion yuan (US$1.3 billion).[4] Construction is planned for 2018-2022.[5]
Project postponed by central government
To help meet the coal capacity limit set out in China's 13th Five-Year Plan, the NEA sent letters to 13 provinces to enforce the suspension of over 100 specific coal plants under planning or construction, totaling nearly 100 GW of capacity. In the letters, NEA said the projects should be postponed to the 14th Five Year period (2021-2025). The list included units 3-4 of the Heyuan power station.[6]
Project revived
Heyuan Power Plant units 3&4 were granted a permit by the Guangdong Provincial DRC in March 2017. The permit states the plant is a poverty reduction project, and is planned for commissioning in 2022, during the 14th-Five-Year-Plan (2021-2025).[7][8]
Construction was reported in late December 2018.[9]
Unit 3 was commissioned in July 2021, and unit 4 in September 2021.[10]
Public opposition
In response to the proposed expansion, an estimated 10,000 people demonstrated on April 12, 2015 against the project, saying the air and water in the region was already heavily polluted.[11]
