Background

The four existing coal-fired units of Huadian Longkou power station, totaling 880 MW (4 x 220 MW), were brought online between 1984 and 1996. The plant's first two 100 MW units have been retired. The plant is majority-owned by China Huadian.[6]

Description of Expansion

Huadian is planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, of 600 MW each. In May 2014 a review meeting of the project feasibility report was held in Shandong Province.[7][8]

Unit 7 was permitted on September 28, 2016. The unit was reported as 660 MW.[9]

Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity

In January 2017 China's National Energy Administration suspended over 100 planned and under-construction coal power projects in 13 provinces, including Huadian Longkou Unit 7.[10] It is unclear when or if the projects will be revived.[11] Unit 8 was therefore also likely shelved. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.

Project revived

Plans for Units 7 and 8 were revived in May 2021.[12]

One unit was permitted in 2019. The other was presumed shelved or cancelled.

By June 2022, the first construction was in construction,[13] and in 2022, the second unit also appeared to be moving forward based on bidding information.[14]

In March 2023, Unit 8 was permitted.[15]

In June 2023, the expansion project's EPC contract was open for bidding.[16]
