Background

The two coal-fired units of Jiaozuo Danhe-1 power station, totaling 200 MW, were commissioned in 1973-75 and retired in 2008. The plant is owned by CPI, which became State Power Investment Corporation in 2015.[1]

Expansion: Jiaozuo Danhe-2

State Power Investment Corporation is planning to build the two-unit coal-fired Jiaozuo Danhe-2, with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW.[2] As of January 2015, the project was seeking environmental clearance.[3][4]

The project was permitted in 2015. Construction began in December 2015.[5]

July 2017: Jiaozuo Danhe-2 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.[6]

Jiaozuo Danhe-2 power station Units 1-2 are among the postponed coal-burning units,[6] and also appeared on an updated list of postponed projects released in September 2017.[7]

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

Construction continues after postponement

Satellite photos from July 2017 and March 2018 appear to show continued construction at the plant.

2019-2020: Commissioning and operation

Unit 1 was commissioned in May 2019,[8] and began commercial operation in November 2019.[9]

Unit 2 is listed as an emergency back-up unit, to be operated only when needed. It was operating in the summer of 2019 to help deal with the high volume of electricity demand in the region.[10] . However, the unit was not formally commissioned until January 2020.[11]

Ownership

In July 2015, China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) and State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) merged to become State Power Investment Corporation (国家电力投资集团), one of the five largest state-owned electricity producers in the People's Republic of China.[12]
