Background on Project
Lingzhou power station consisted of two units totaling 270 MW, commissioned in 2005-2006.[1]
It was retired in 2018.[2]
Proposed expansion
In 2014, Shenhua Group and Ninglu Coal Company[3] proposed to build an additional two units of 660 MW each at the power station.[4]
2016: Nationwide Restrictions Imposed on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity
Due to new restrictions announced during 2016 by the National Energy Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, further capacity expansions at this location appear to be on hold or cancelled. For details, see China's 2016 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
With no developments since 2014, plans for units 3 and 4 appear to be abandoned.
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.[5][6] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[7]
