Background
Shanxi Coal International Energy Group has proposed a power station of two units of 350 MW each. The environmental impact assessment was approved in 2014.[1][2][3]
The power station is under construction and planned for 2017.[4]
2017: Plant halted by government
In July 2017, the 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]
Shanxi Coal Hequ power station Units 1-2 are among the halted coal-burning units,[5] and also appeared on an updated list of halted projects released in September 2017.[6]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
2020: Plans revived
The coal plant was listed as a Shanxi provincial key project for 2020, suggesting plans have been revived.[7]
In 2021, the project was reportedly planned to start construction that year.[8][9][10]
In 2022, the project was under construction according on various bidding ads available online. Progress was also apparent in Planet satellite imagery starting around March 2022.
