Background
Toksun Mahatma power station is a two-unit coal-fired power plant with a total capacity of 600 MW in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The plant was completed in 2012-2013, and is owned by Xinjiang Zhongtai Chemical Company.[1][2]
A second phase of 2 x 300 MW is also under development.[3]
With no developments since August 2015, phase II appears to be cancelled.
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.
