Overview
Shandong Jinling power station is a 100 MW coal-fired power plant in Shandong, China, operated by Shandong Jinling Mining Co Ltd. It contributes to the region's energy supply.
Shandong Jinling power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in Shandong Province, China. With a capacity of 100 MW, it is a small-scale plant within the country's vast coal power sector. The plant is owned and operated by Shandong Jinling Mining Co Ltd, reflecting the integration of mining and power generation in the region. As a coal-fired plant, Shandong Jinling power station operates using pulverized coal combustion technology typical of smaller units in China. The facility is subject to national emission standards under China's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which mandates strict limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. Smaller coal plants in China often use subcritical boilers. The plant plays a role in local grid stability and industrial power supply in Shandong, a province with high electricity demand due to its manufacturing base. While coal power remains a key energy source, China is increasingly enforcing emission controls and promoting cleaner generation. The plant's environmental impact depends on its compliance with these regulations and its proximity to populated areas.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, contributing to local air quality concerns. Shandong is a densely populated industrial province, so proximity to urban areas could amplify health impacts. The 100 MW capacity indicates a relatively small footprint, but without modern pollution controls, emissions may be significant. China's regulatory framework under the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan requires desulfurization and denitrification equipment for coal plants.
Frequently asked questions
Shandong Jinling power station is located in Shandong Province, China, at coordinates 36.849900 N, 118.175100 E.
Shandong Jinling power station has a capacity of 100 megawatts (MW), classifying it as a small-scale coal-fired power plant.
Shandong Jinling power station is owned by Shandong Jinling Mining Co Ltd, a company that integrates mining and power generation.
Coal power plants in China must comply with the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan, which sets emission limits for SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. Plants are also subject to national carbon intensity targets.
Small coal plants in China often use subcritical boiler technology, which is less efficient than supercritical or ultra-supercritical designs. However, many are being retrofitted with pollution control equipment.
