State-owned coal giant Shenhua Group would build two 1GW ultra-supercritical coal-fired power units in Jiangyou City in northern Sichuan province, local media reported on June 23.The project, together with a 500,000-tonne coal emergency storage base, is the first phase project Shenhua planned to develop in the southwestern hydro-rich province.The project was approved by the National Energy Administration in October 2014. Total investment was estimated at 6.92 billion yuan ($1.13 billion). Environmental protection equipment for efficient electrostatic dust removal, desulfurization and denitration will be installed, the report said.The two generating units may need to burn 4.09 million tonnes of coal, and are expected to generate and sell 10 TWh of electricity each year.Shenhua planned to build four 1GW ultra-supercritical coal-fired power units and a one-million-tonne coal emergency storage base.The Shenhua project is part of the 8 GW Lukou coal-electricity base -- one of the four bases planned to be built by the provincial government during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015).Sichuan’s thermal power has been greatly squeezed by its rich hydropower. By end-2014, Sichuan’s hydropower installed capacity reached 62.93 GW, accounting for 79.9% of the total power generation capacity.The province aimed to realize 88 GW of power generation capacity by end-2015, with 70 GW hydropower and 18 GW thermal power capacities, respectively.
