Background

Suzhou Huiyuan power station was founded in 1958 with the name of Sudong power station. The name changed to Anhui Huiyuan cogen power company in 1999, and changed the name to Guodian Suzhou cogen power company in 2008 after China Guodian became its owner.

Units 1&2 with total capacity of 40MW were retired in 2008. Units 3&4 have a total capacity of 270 MW.

Unit 3 was retired in 2012, when Suzhou-2 power station came online. Unit 4 is still operating.

Unit 4 was retired in June 2017.
