Background on Project
Shenhua Group has proposed a four-unit coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 4,000 MW in Chongqing Municipality.[2]
Units 1-2 totaling 2,000 MW began operation in 2015.[3][4]
Proposed expansion
Two more units, Units 3-4 totaling 2,000 MW, has been proposed.[5][6][7]
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.
2023: Potential revival
In October 2023, a list of projects planned for construction by various companies listed Guoneng Chongqing Wanzhou Electric Power Co., Ltd. Phase II 2×1000MW coal-fired power generation project. The project location would be Wanzhou District, Chongqing and the owner would be Guoneng Chongqing Wanzhou Electric Power Co., Ltd.[8]
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.[9][10] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[11]
