Background
Yuzhong cogen power station is currently owned by China Huaneng but was originally owned by China Guodian. It was the expansion of the Lanzhou cogen power station in a different location.[1][2] Guodian planned to build the two-unit coal-fired CHP Guodian Yuzhong power station, with a total capacity of 600 MW. In 2014 the size was raised to 2 x 350 MW. The units were under construction and planned to supply heat to eastern Lanzhou city in 2018. The heating area was 16.78 million square meters.[3]
Unit 1 was connected to the grid in September 2018 [4] and commissioned in January 2019.[5] Unit 2 was also allegedly commissioned in 2019.
Expansion postponed by government
In July 2017, the NEA released the "Guideline of Supply-Side Reform of the Coal Power Bubble". The Guideline included a draft list which slowed down or halted 185 coal-burning units across 21 provinces, totaling 107 GW. 114 coal units (65 GW) were ordered to slow down the construction progress from 2017 to 2020, and were not allowed to connect to the grid in 2017. In addition, 71 coal units (42 GW) were halted indefinitely for regulation violations. The list partly overlapped with the projects listed in the January NEA letter to 13 provinces.[6]
Yuzhong unit 2 was among the postponed coal-burning units,[6] and also appeared on an updated list of postponements released in September 2017. The new list contained 151 units totaling 93 GW.[7] For more information, see China's Restrictions on Development of Coal-Fired Power Capacity.
Construction was reportedly resumed in May 2018 and completed in 2019.[8]
Ownership
On August 28, 2017, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC) announced that China Guodian Corporation and Shenhua Group will be jointly restructured. Shenhua Group will become China National Energy Investment Group and will absorb China Guodian Corporation. It will be the largest power company in the world by installed capacity, as well as the world's largest coal producer.[9][10] The merger was completed on November 28, 2017.[11]
In May 2020, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) began a pilot project which is allowing each of the five Central SOEs, central government-owned power giants presenting only in one province or autonomous region in 5 northwest provinces and autonomous regions. It is an effort by SASAC to improve the financial performance of the coal power companies in these 5 provinces and Autonomous regions. According to SASAC's arrangement, China Huaneng presents in Gansu. China Huadian leads Xinjiang. China Datang is in Shaanxi except those power companies belonging to China Energy Group. SPIC is in Qinghai. China Energy Group leads Ningxia. [12][13] By the end of 2020, 10 coal power stations in Gansu have completed the transition. [14][15]
Guodian Yuzhong Power Station transferred its ownership to China Huaneng in January 2021.
