Background

The Kuitun Jinjiang power station was commissioned in 2008 in order to meet new industrial and agricultural demand for heat and electricity, improve the province's energy efficiency, and reduce air pollution in the Kuitun area. With an investment of 100 million RMB, this power plant was constructed to replace and retire existing low-efficiency coal plants in the area. This power plant's fuel likely comes from the local coal mines that are part of the Xinjiang Kuitun Jinjiang Coal Chemical Industry Base.
