Overview
Hebei Longshan power station is a 1,200 MW coal-fired power plant in Hebei, China. It is operational and owned by Hebei Longshan Power Station.
Hebei Longshan power station is a coal-fired power plant located in Hebei Province, China, with a capacity of 1,200 MW. This scale places it among medium-to-large coal power facilities in the region, contributing to the country's extensive coal-based power generation fleet. The plant operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which include limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. As a coal-fired facility, it likely uses subcritical or supercritical technology, typical for plants of this vintage and size in China. The regulatory framework also includes carbon intensity targets under China's national climate commitments. Hebei Longshan power station plays a role in supplying electricity to the local grid and supporting industrial and residential demand in Hebei Province. Coal power remains a significant part of China's energy mix, and this facility contributes to the region's energy security while operating within evolving environmental regulations.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in significant CO2, SO2, and NOx emissions, typical for coal power generation. Its location in Hebei, a region with high industrial activity and population density, means emissions may impact local air quality. The facility's age and technology (likely subcritical or supercritical) influence its thermal efficiency and emission intensity. Proximity to populated areas could increase exposure to pollutants, though specific distances are not detailed.
