Guizhou Dalong power station - 600 MW Coal Power Plant in Guizhou, China

Guizhou Dalong power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Guizhou province, China. With a capacity of 600 MW, it falls into the medium-to-large scale category for coal plants in the region. The plant is owned and operated by China Huadian Group Corporation, one of the major state-owned power generation enterprises in China. The plant operates on coal as its primary fuel, a common choice in China's energy mix. Coal plants of this capacity in China typically employ subcritical or supercritical boiler technology. The facility is subject to China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, including limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as carbon intensity targets under the country's climate commitments. As an operational coal-fired power station, Guizhou Dalong contributes to the regional power grid, supporting industrial and residential electricity demand in Guizhou province. The plant's environmental footprint includes CO2 emissions and local air pollutants, which are regulated under China's increasingly stringent environmental policies. Its location in a mountainous region may influence dispersion patterns of emissions.

The plant's coal-fired operation results in significant CO2 emissions, contributing to global climate change. Proximity to populated areas in Guizhou may expose local communities to SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, which can affect air quality and public health. The facility's age and technology (likely subcritical or supercritical) influence its thermal efficiency and emission intensity. China's regulatory framework, including emission standards and carbon trading schemes, governs the plant's environmental performance.
