Overview

Datang Luoyang Shouyangshan power station is a 1,040 MW coal-fired power plant in Henan, China. It is owned by Datang Shouyangshan Power Station and is currently operational.

Datang Luoyang Shouyangshan power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Henan Province, China, near the city of Luoyang. With a capacity of 1,040 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale facility within China's extensive coal power fleet. The plant is owned by Datang Shouyangyangshan Power Station and is currently operational, contributing to the regional power grid. As a coal power plant, it operates under China's national emission standards, which have become increasingly stringent in recent years. The facility likely uses subcritical or supercritical technology, common for plants of this vintage and scale. China's coal power sector is subject to regulations on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, with many plants retrofitting pollution control equipment to meet standards. The plant's location in Henan, a populous and industrial province, means it plays a key role in meeting local electricity demand. Its coal fuel source implies significant CO2 emissions, and its proximity to populated areas may raise local air quality considerations. The plant's operational status indicates it remains a part of China's energy mix, though the sector is gradually transitioning toward cleaner sources.

Environmental context

The plant's coal fuel type results in substantial CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, contributing to local and regional air pollution. Its location in Henan, a densely populated province, means emissions can affect large populations. The plant's capacity of 1,040 MW places it in a size range where environmental impact is significant, though modern pollution controls can mitigate some effects. China's regulatory framework, including national emission standards and coal power plant efficiency requirements, governs its operation.

Frequently asked questions

The plant is located in Henan Province, China, near the city of Luoyang, at coordinates 34.7325 N, 112.7554 E.

The plant has a capacity of 1,040 megawatts (MW), making it a medium-to-large coal power plant.

The plant is owned by Datang Shouyangshan Power Station, a subsidiary of China Datang Corporation.

Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as efficiency requirements. The government has been tightening these standards to reduce pollution.

Coal power plants emit CO2, SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to climate change and local air pollution. Modern plants may use scrubbers and other technologies to reduce emissions.
