Overview
Shenhua Fugu Guojiawan power station is a 600 MW coal-fired power plant in China, operated by Shendong Power. It is an operational facility contributing to the country's coal-based electricity generation.
Shenhua Fugu Guojiawan power station is a coal-fired power plant located in China, with an installed capacity of 600 MW. The facility is owned and operated by Shendong Power, a subsidiary of the Shenhua Group, and is currently in operational status. As a coal power plant, it plays a role in China's extensive coal-based electricity generation infrastructure. The plant operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which include limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. The 600 MW capacity places it in the medium-to-large scale range for coal power plants in China. The facility contributes to the regional power grid, supporting industrial and residential electricity demand. Its location in Fugu County, Shaanxi Province, is within a coal-rich region, aligning with local resource availability. The plant's operations are subject to ongoing environmental regulations aimed at reducing emissions from coal combustion.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, contributing to local and regional air quality concerns. Proximity to populated areas may increase exposure to pollutants. The 600 MW capacity indicates a substantial environmental footprint, though modern emission control technologies may be in place to mitigate impacts.
Frequently asked questions
The power station is located in Fugu County, Shaanxi Province, China, at coordinates 39.2226 N, 110.4066 E.
The plant has an installed capacity of 600 megawatts (MW), classifying it as a medium-to-large scale coal power plant.
The plant is owned and operated by Shendong Power, a subsidiary of the Shenhua Group.
Coal power plants in China must comply with national emission standards for thermal power plants, including limits on sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter. The government also enforces carbon intensity targets and promotes the adoption of advanced technologies like supercritical boilers and flue-gas desulfurization.
Chinese coal power plants commonly use subcritical or supercritical boiler technology. Supercritical and ultra-supercritical units offer higher efficiency and lower emissions. Many plants also install pollution control equipment such as electrostatic precipitators and selective catalytic reduction systems.
