Taizhou Power Plant is an old power plant with six coal-fired units, each of 135 MW, that have operated for more than 20 years. In response to the nation's energy conservation and emission reduction policy, Zhejiang Energy Group proposed to build the second power plant in Taizhou.

The proposed Taizhou No. 2 Power Plant, which is south of Jiantiaogang Port in Caotou Village, in Sanmen County, has a total planned capacity of 4,000 MW; of which, two 1,000-MW, ultra-supercritical, coal-fired units will be built in Phase I. According to plans, the project will replace 1,133 MW of small thermal power units in Zhejiang province, including units 2 to 5 in Taizhou Power Plant. Upon completion, the project will play an important role in alleviating the power shortage in Zhejiang, in improving the economy and reliability of the Zhejiang Grid, and in promoting the local economic development.
