Background

The two existing coal-fired units of Shanxi Ruiguang power station, totaling 660 MW, were brought online between 2011 and 2012. The plant is owned by Shanxi International Electricity Group.

Description of Expansion

Shanxi International Energy Group is currently planning to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total planned capacity of 1,200 MW.

However, with no developments since 2011, the expansion appears to be cancelled.
