Background

Qingshan power station is a three-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 1,030 MW in Hubei Province. The first eleven units, totaling 737 MW, have been retired. Unit 12, totaling 330 MW, was completed in 1996. Units 13 & 14, totaling 700 MW, were completed in 2012. The plant was originally owned by China Guodian.[1][2][3]

Ownership

On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[4][5] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[6]
