A 2-GW power project has completed road leveling and pile foundation construction in northern China's Inner Mongolia, marking the start of building the first GW-level, lignite-based power plant in China.
The project, located in Wulagai Management District in Xilingol League, had completed assessments of environmental impact, energy-saving and gained the land use right from the government.
The ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation project is the first major energy cooperation project between Inner Mongolia and eastern China's Jiangsu province. Its power will be transmitted through an ultra-high voltage transmission grid to Jiangsu province.
With a total investment of 7.5 billion yuan ($1.18 billion), it is planned to produce 10 TWh of power once commissioned.
The project will fill the gap of domestic GW-level lignite-fired power units and open up a new path for the efficient and clean utilization of the low-quality coal.
"The construction of the project is an important step to promote the economic development of Wulagai, improve the local coal conversion and realize clean energy generation, and it is of great significance to increase regional tax revenue and local employment as well," Wang Yongsheng, deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of Wulagai Management District, said.
On December 27, the first 1-GW coal-based power generation unit of the Shanghaimiao power plant in Inner Mongolia has been put into commercial operation.
