History

The construction of the Kaifeng Thermal Power Plant began in October 1969,[5] and the first phase of the project was installed with 2x50,000 kilowatt units,[6] which were put into operation in 1973 and 1974. [7] In April 1977, the power plant was expanded with two units of 125,000 kilowatts, which were put into operation in 1978, with a total installed capacity of 350,000 kilowatts.[8]

On September 10, 2007, the construction of the expansion project of Kaifeng Thermal Power Plant started, and the project was constructed by Gezhouba Group. [9] This project was newly built two 600MW supercritical units. In December 2008, its first unit passed the 168-hour full-load test running (168小时满负荷试运行).[10] In March 2009, its second unit passed the 168-hour full-load test running and was put into operation.[11]

With a total investment of 4.56 billion yuan, [12] the Kaifeng Thermal Power Plant's 2×600MW unit expansion project is the largest investment project in Kaifeng after the founding of the People's Republic of China.[13]
