Overview
Enipedia is a 60 MW coal power plant in China, operated by LuAn Mining Industry Group Co. It is an operational facility contributing to the country's coal-fired power generation capacity.
Enipedia is a coal power plant located in China, with coordinates 36.489700 N, 113.047500 E. It is owned and operated by LuAn Mining Industry Group Co and has an operational status. The plant has a capacity of 60 MW, placing it in the small-scale category for coal power generation in China. Coal power plants in China are subject to national emission standards under the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which sets limits for SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. China has been implementing stricter regulations and retiring inefficient coal plants, but many smaller units remain operational. The plant's relatively small capacity suggests it may serve local industrial or residential needs. Its location in a coal-rich region aligns with China's historical reliance on coal for energy security.
Environmental context
As a coal-fired power plant, Enipedia contributes to CO2 emissions and local air pollutants such as SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. Its small capacity (60 MW) implies a lower absolute emission footprint compared to larger plants, but the use of coal as fuel results in higher carbon intensity per MWh. China's regulatory framework requires coal plants to meet emission standards, and older units may face retrofitting or retirement pressures.
Frequently asked questions

Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards under the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which sets limits for SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. Plants may also be subject to regional caps and efficiency requirements.
A 60 MW coal plant emits CO2 and local pollutants like SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. While smaller than large plants, its coal fuel source results in higher carbon intensity per MWh compared to natural gas or renewables.
