Background on Project
China Datang was planning to build a coal-fired power plant with a total planned capacity of 1,320 MW in Hebei Province.[1][2][3]
The proposed power station was approved by China's National Development and Reform Commission in 2014.[4]
It was planned for completion in 2016;[5][6] in October 2017 the power station was reported to be nearing the end of construction.[7][8]
Project suspended, then revived
July 2017: Plant postponed by government
In July 2017 China's National Energy Administration (NEA) postponed or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling nearly 107 gigawatts (GW). 114 coal units totaling 65 GW are postponed for consideration until after the end of the 13th 5-year plan, in 2020. In addition, 71 coal units totaling nearly 42 GW were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. NEA said its goal is to eventually suspend or halt 150 GW of coal capacity during the 13th 5-year plan (2016-2020).[9]
Yuxian power station Units 1-2 are among the postponed coal-burning units.[9]
For more information, see China's 2016/2017 Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
September 2017: Suspension lifted
After political negotiations, China's National Energy Administration (NEA) released an updated list of postponed and halted coal projects on September 26, 2017. The new list contained 151 units totaling 95 gigawatts (GW). Yuxian power station was no longer on the list, suggesting the plant is not suspended.[10]
2018-2019: Plant commissioned
Unit 1 was commissioned in November 2018.[11]
Unit 2 was commissioned on June 29, 2019.[12]
