Background

The two existing coal-fired units of Harbin-1 power station, totaling 600 MW, were brought online between 2006 and 2007. The plant's fist six units have been retired. The plant is owned by China Huadian.[1][2]

Description of Expansion

Huadian is planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, units 9-10, with a total planned capacity of 700 MW. Unit 9 was permitted in 2012,[3] and began construction in 2014.[4]

2017: Unit 9 postponed by government

In July 2017 China's 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.[5]

Harbin-1 power station Unit 1 (also known as unit 9) is among the postponed coal-burning units,[5] and also appeared on an updated list of postponements released on September 26, 2017.[6]

For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

Unit 9 commissioned

Unit 9 was commissioned on September 28, 2017.[7]

According to the Heilongjiang Province government, the unit was allowed by China's NRDC to connect to the grid in 2017.[8]
