Background
Weiqiao Huji power station is a 4 x 330 MW subcritical coal plant at Binzhou prefecture, owned by Shandong Weiqiao Group. Units 3-4 began operating in 2014.[1] Units 1-2 were completed in 2015.[2][3]
Proposed expansion
Shandong Weiqiao Group is constructing an additional units 5-8 at the power station, totaling 1,320 MW (four units of 330 MW each).[4]
The units were commissioned in 2016.[5][6]
Shandong Weiqiao Group found to have built 45 coal-fired units without necessary permits
In August and September 2017, China's central government Environmental Protection Inspection Group 3 (中央第三环境保护督察组) spent a month in Shandong Province, to inspect the province's environmental protection work. In its final inspection report, the Group found that Shandong Weiqiao Group illegally built 45 coal power units in Shandong.[7]
In May 2018, the Shandong Provincial government responded to the inspection report with a plan to address the wrongdoings. According to the province, 33 of Weiqiao's 45 illegal coal power plants had since completed the necessary procedures to receive environment clearance and continue operating; 12 of the plants did not complete any procedures and should stop construction and operation immediately. Among the 12 units, 4 units should stop construction, and 8 units should stop operation, although they are not named.[8]
