Overview
Shenhua Zhunneng power station is a 960 MW coal-fired power plant in China, operated by Beijing Energy Investment Holding Co Ltd. It is located at coordinates 39.8279, 111.2679.
Shenhua Zhunneng power station is a coal-fired power generation facility located in China, with a capacity of 960 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Beijing Energy Investment Holding Co Ltd and is currently operational. As a coal power plant, it contributes to the country's extensive coal-based electricity generation infrastructure. The plant operates under China's national emission standards for thermal power plants, which regulate pollutants such as SOx, NOx, and particulate matter. With a capacity of 960 MW, it falls into the medium-to-large scale category for coal plants in China. This facility plays a role in meeting regional electricity demand, supporting industrial and residential needs. Its environmental impact is influenced by its coal fuel source, which results in CO2 emissions and other pollutants. The plant's location and operational status are key factors in its contribution to the local power grid.
Environmental context
The plant's coal fuel source results in significant CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, typical for coal-fired generation. Its location in China, a country with stringent but evolving emission standards, means it must comply with national regulations. The 960 MW capacity indicates a substantial environmental footprint, with potential impacts on local air quality and water resources.
