Background on Project

In October 2014, PowerChina proposed a 2,000 MW power station in Lingtai County.

There was no further news until January 2020, when Gansu province and the city of Pingliang signed an agreement with Shandong Energy Group on developing a 4 x 1,000 MW coal plant. The coal would be supplied by Shandong Energy subsidiary Shenglu Coal and Chemical, which has two coal mine projects under construction.

Two units were reportedly permitted on December 1, 2021, and construction reportedly began in August 2022.

In 2023, Unit 3 and Unit 4 were presumed to be shelved.
