Overview
Shuicheng Mine Coal is a 100 MW coal power plant in Guizhou, China, operated by Guizhou Shuicheng Coal Mining Group Co Ltd. It is an operational facility contributing to the region's power generation.
Shuicheng Mine Coal is a coal-fired power plant located in Guizhou Province, China, with a capacity of 100 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Guizhou Shuicheng Coal Mining Group Co Ltd and is currently operational. It represents a small-to-medium scale coal power facility within China's extensive coal power fleet. The plant uses coal as its primary fuel, a common energy source in China's power sector. Coal plants of this scale in China often employ subcritical or supercritical boiler technology. China's coal power plants are subject to national emission standards under the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, including limits on SO2, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as carbon intensity targets under the national carbon trading scheme. As a coal-fired facility, Shuicheng Mine Coal contributes to the local grid but also faces environmental scrutiny due to its carbon emissions and air pollutant footprint. Its location in Guizhou, a province with significant coal reserves, underscores its role in utilizing local resources for energy. The plant's operational status indicates ongoing contribution to regional power supply.
Environmental context
Coal power plants like Shuicheng Mine Coal have a significant environmental footprint due to CO2 emissions and air pollutants such as SO2, NOx, and particulate matter. The plant's location in Guizhou, a region with mountainous terrain and potential for air pollution dispersion, may influence local air quality. Proximity to populated areas could increase exposure risks. The plant's age and technology (likely subcritical or supercritical) affect its efficiency and emission intensity. China's regulatory framework, including emission standards and carbon trading, aims to mitigate these impacts.
