---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Phase I of Pingdingshan’s No. 2 power plant has received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission’s (NDRC) Administration Department for pre-stage preparation for the construction of two 1,000-megawatt (MW) ultra supercritical coal-fired units to replace smaller units in central China’s Henan Province.

The project is a typical pithead power plant jointly invested by China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) (Beijing, China) (80%) and Pingdingshan Coal Mining (Group) Company Limited (Henan, China) (20%). The project has a total planned installation capacity of 4,000 MW. Two 1,000-MW units, with flue-gas desulphurization devices are planned. According to the NDRC’s approval letter, the project will shut down 501 MW of small thermal power units. The project will be the first 1,000-MW power source project built in Henan Province and also the first 1,000-MW unit in central China with advantages in coal supply, water supply, transportation and more.

The Pingdingshan Thermal Power Plant Phase I has signed supply contracts for main equipment with Dongfang Boilers Company Limited (Sichuan, China), Harbin Steam Turbine Works Company Limited (Heilongjiang, China) and Harbin Electric Works Company Limited (Heilongjiang, China) on September 1, 2007.
