---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Following the commissioning of the first 600-megawatt (MW) supercritical unit in Guizhou Xingyi Electric Power Development Company Limited's (Xingyi, Guizhou) Xingyi Power Plant on May 5, 2011, the second unit in Phase I of the power plant passed the 168-hour, full-load trial operation again on December 26, 2011. The Phase I project of Guizhou Xingyi Power Plant has now been fully commissioned, according to an announcement from Southwest Electric Power Design Institute (SWEPDI) (Chengdu, Sichuan), a regional subsidiary of China Power Engineering Consulting Corporation (Beijing), on December 28.

Xingyi Power Plant, which is in Qianxi Village, Qingshuihe Town of Xingyi City, is a typical pithead power plant jointly invested by Guizhou Development and Investment Corporation Limited (Guiyang, Guizhou) (42%), Guangxi Investment Group Company Limited (Nanning, Guangxi) (41%), Guizhou Zikuang Energy Development Company Limited (15%) and Qianxinan Xingyue Energy Development Company Limited (2%).

The power plant has a total planned capacity of four 600-MW, coal-fired units. Two 600-MW, supercritical, coal-fired units were planned in Phase I. Guizhou Electric Power Survey & Design Institute (Guiyang) and the SWEPDI are jointly responsible for the design and engineering of the project. Guizhou Electric Power Construction No.1 Company (Guiyang) and Guizhou Electric Power Construction No.2 Company (Guiyang) are jointly responsible for the construction and erection of the project.

Phase I of the project received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the top planner of China, in October 2009. Construction of the project kicked off on November 28, 2009. According to the agreement signed between the Guizhou province and the Guangxi autonomous region, electricity generated from the project will be fully transmitted to Guangxi. It's expected that the project will be able to generate about 7.5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year, which could greatly alleviate the power shortage in the Guangxi region.
