Background

Sichuan Vinylon Works is a chemical plant in Zhujia Town of Changshou District in the Chongqing Municipality, owned by Sinopec. The plant was powered by an 86-megawatt (MW) captive coal-fired power station, referred to as unit 1. The old coal plant was eventually replaced by a new coal-fired power station: Units 2-3 were commissioned in 2012, and unit 4 in 2020. The old 86 MW coal plant was permanently shut down in 2020.
