Leizhou power station (大唐国际雷州电厂) is an operating power station of at least 2000-megawatts (MW) in Wushi Town, Leizhou, Zhanjiang, Guangdong, China with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Datang Leizhou power station.

Background on Project
China Datang proposed a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 2,000 MW in Guangdong Province. The plant was scheduled to be completed in 2015,[2][3] but as of December 2016 was still under construction. [4]
2017: Plant 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]
Leizhou power station Units 1-2 were among the postponed coal-burning units,[5] and also appeared on an updated list of postponements released in September 2017.[6]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Construction continues after July 2017 suspension
Satellite photography in July 2017 and March 2018 showed that construction was ongoing. Construction on the plant was also reported in an April 2018 news report, with the plant planned for commissioning in 2019.[7]
2019: Unit 1 operating
Unit 1 began operating in December 2019.[8]
2020: Unit 2 operating
Unit 2 was commissioned on January 6, 2020.[9]
2022: Expansion under consideration
In October 2022, a phase II expansion project of 2 x 1000 MW was under public review.[10]
