Overview
Dalian Ganjingzi power station is a 600 MW coal-fired power plant in Dalian, China, owned by CPI Northeast Power Co Ltd. It is operational and contributes to the region's power generation.
Dalian Ganjingzi power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China. With a capacity of 600 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale facility in the context of China's vast coal power fleet. The plant is owned by CPI Northeast Power Co Ltd and is currently operational. As a coal power plant, Dalian Ganjingzi operates under China's national emission standards, which include limits on SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The facility likely uses subcritical or supercritical technology, typical for plants of its vintage and size. China has been implementing stricter regulations to reduce emissions from coal plants, including requirements for desulfurization and denitrification systems. The plant plays a role in meeting the electricity demand of Dalian, a major port and industrial city in northeastern China. Its location near the coast may influence its cooling water source and environmental considerations. The facility's contribution to local grid stability and economic activity is significant, though coal power remains a key source of CO2 emissions in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion produces CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local and regional air quality concerns. Dalian's coastal location may moderate dispersion of pollutants. The facility's age and technology level (likely subcritical) imply higher emissions per MWh compared to newer supercritical or ultra-supercritical plants. Proximity to populated areas increases potential health impacts from emissions.
