Background

The site is the third phase of the Qinzhou power station and was relocated nearby.

Phase III

In March 2020, a 2 x 1,000MW coal-fired expansion at the Qinzhou power station was listed as a preliminary project in the Guangxi "Energy Network Infrastructure Plan 2020-2022" (《广西“能源网”基础设施建设大会战实施方案(2020-2022年)》).[5]

In December 2020, one new 660 MW unit was permitted for construction at the power station. Another 660 MW unit was proposed.[6]

The ceremony for construction beginning was held in December 2020, but did not mark the start of actual construction.[7]

The ceremony for the first load of construction was then held December 21, 2021. The ceremony was now for 4 x 660 MW power station phase, even though only one unit was previously permitted for construction. The news noted the estimated commissioning date for unit one (unit 5 of the Qinzhou power station) was November 2023, and February 2024 for unit two (unit 6 of the SDIC Qinzhou power station). The proposal was relocated to approximately 7 km away from the first and second phases.[8]

Unit 2 of Phase III was permitted on January 17, 2022.[9]

Units 3 and 4 were permitted in August 2022.[10]

Planet satellite imagery from 2020 to 2022 show development at the site.
