China's largest-ever coal-fired power plant starts operation: report
Beijing (AFP) Nov 30, 2007 China's largest coal-fired power plant, a 2.1-billion-dollar complex supplying the energy-hungry east coast, has entered into operation, state media reported Friday. The four 1,000-megawatt generating units that make up the plant are located in east China's Zhejiang province and operated by China Huaneng Group, one of the nation's top energy producers, the Xinhua news agency said. The facility becomes operational at a time when China, which depends on coal for about 70 percent of its energy needs, tries to rein in output of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse emissions. It wants the overall economy to be 20 percent more energy efficient in 2010 than it was in 2005. Xinhua said the new power plant is using "ultra-supercritical technologies," reducing carbon dioxide emissions drastically compared with more traditional technologies.
