Huadian Hami power station - 270 MW Coal Power Plant in Hami, China

Huadian Hami power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Hami, Xinjiang, China. With a capacity of 270 MW, it falls into the small-to-medium scale for coal plants in China, which often exceed 1,000 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Huadian Power International Company Limited, a major state-owned power producer. The facility operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which regulate SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. As a coal-fired plant, it uses subcritical or supercritical technology typical of its era. China's power sector is transitioning toward higher efficiency and lower emissions, with newer plants adopting ultra-supercritical and circulating fluidized bed technologies. Located in the arid Xinjiang region, the plant supports local industrial and residential electricity demand. Its coal supply likely comes from nearby mines, contributing to the regional economy. The plant's environmental impact includes CO2 emissions and local air pollutants, though specific control technologies are not detailed in available data.

The plant's coal combustion releases CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns in Hami. Xinjiang's arid climate and sparse population may reduce exposure, but coal plants in China face increasing regulatory pressure to install flue-gas desulfurization and selective catalytic reduction. The 270 MW capacity suggests moderate emissions relative to larger plants.
