Overview
Guodian Jilin power station is a 1,300 MW coal-fired plant in China, operated by Guodian Longhua Power Co Ltd. It contributes to the country's extensive coal power generation capacity.
Guodian Jilin power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Jilin Province, China, with an operational capacity of 1,300 MW. Owned and operated by Guodian Longhua Power Co Ltd, the facility is part of China's vast coal power generation infrastructure, which plays a central role in meeting the nation's electricity demand. As a coal power plant, Guodian Jilin operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which regulate pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant's technology and efficiency level are typical for coal units of this scale, with subcritical or supercritical steam cycles being common. China has been implementing stricter environmental regulations and promoting the adoption of advanced technologies like ultra-supercritical and circulating fluidized bed combustion to reduce emissions. The plant's 1,300 MW capacity places it in the large-scale category for coal power generation. It supplies electricity to the regional grid, supporting industrial and residential consumers in Jilin Province. The facility's environmental performance is subject to ongoing regulatory oversight, and its operation contributes to the local economy and energy security.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns and greenhouse gas emissions. Its location in Jilin Province, which has a mix of urban and industrial areas, means emissions may affect populated regions. The facility's age and technology level influence its efficiency and emission intensity, with older subcritical units typically having higher emissions per MWh compared to modern supercritical or ultra-supercritical designs.
