Ordos Junzheng power station - 660 MW Coal Power Plant in Ordos, China

Ordos Junzheng power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China. With a capacity of 660 MW, it is a medium-to-large scale plant within China's extensive coal power fleet. The facility is owned and operated by Ordos Junzheng Energy & Chemistry Co and is currently operational. The plant utilizes coal as its primary fuel, a common choice in China's power sector. Coal plants of this capacity in China typically employ subcritical or supercritical boiler technology. The facility operates under China's national emission standards, which include limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as carbon intensity targets under the country's climate commitments. As a coal-fired plant in Inner Mongolia, Ordos Junzheng power station contributes to the local grid and supports industrial activities in the region. Its location in a coal-rich area aligns with China's energy strategy, though coal power faces increasing regulatory pressure to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. The plant's role in the community includes providing reliable baseload power to residential and industrial users.

The plant's coal fuel source results in significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, typical for coal power generation. Located in Ordos, a city with heavy industrial activity, the facility may contribute to local air quality concerns. Proximity to populated areas could increase exposure to pollutants. Older subcritical units generally have higher emissions per MWh compared to supercritical or CCGT alternatives.
