Background

The eight-unit coal plant has a total capacity of 2,560 MW and was built from 1991-2011. The plant is owned by China Datang. It is the main power plant supplying electricity to Beijing. In 2013 and 2015, four of its eight units were upgraded to cogeneration units, started suppling heat in winter to the city of Zhangjiakou.
