Overview
Dongtang Plant power station is a 285 MW coal-fired facility in Dongguan, China, operated by Dongguan Dongtang Industry Co. It contributes to the region's power generation capacity.
Dongtang Plant power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. With a capacity of 285 MW, it falls into the small-to-medium scale category for coal plants in China. The facility is owned and operated by Dongguan Dongtang Industry Co and is currently operational, serving the local power grid. Coal power plants in China operate under national emission standards that regulate SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant's technology likely includes subcritical or supercritical boilers, common for its size. China has been implementing stricter environmental regulations, including the Ultra-Low Emission standards, which require retrofits for older plants to reduce pollutants. The plant's location in the industrial Pearl River Delta region places it in an area with high electricity demand. Its role is to provide baseload power to support industrial and residential needs. The facility's environmental impact depends on its emission control systems and compliance with national standards.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its location in the densely populated Pearl River Delta amplifies potential health impacts. The 285 MW capacity indicates moderate fuel consumption. Compliance with China's Ultra-Low Emission standards is critical for reducing its environmental footprint.
