Background
Sinopec Yangzi power station is a six-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 360 MW. The plant was completed between 1986 and 1988, and is owned by Sinopec.[1]
In 2019, it was reported that two new 50 MW coal-fired units were under construction at the site. The new units, units 7-8, were planned for operation in 2020. When they are commissioned, units 1-3 will be retired.[2]
The first new unit, unit 7, was commissioned on December 28, 2021.[3]
Unit 8 was commissioned on January 4, 2022.[4]
At least four units at the site were reportedly retired by early 2022 (per Google Translate: "the No. 1 boiler and No. 2 steam turbine of the Yangzi Petrochemical Thermal Power Plant were out of service. So far, the No. 1 to No. 5 boilers and No. 1 to No. 4 steam turbine generator units in the old area of the Yangzi Petrochemical Thermal Power Plant were completely out of service, which marked the green steam supply center project success.").[5]
