First Concrete Poured for SPIC Baicheng 660,000 kW Coal Power Project in China

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Baicheng, Jilin, China, May 10 — The first batch of concrete was successfully poured for the #1 and #2 boilers of the SPIC Green Energy Baicheng 2×660,000 kW Guaranteed Supply Coal Power Project. This project marks the first application of lignite medium-speed mill tower boiler technology in a 600,000 kW class coal power unit in China, officially entering the comprehensive high-standard construction phase.

The project is a key guaranteed supply coal power initiative for both the national and Jilin provincial levels, designed and constructed according to new-generation coal power unit standards. With a total investment of 5.698 billion yuan, it plans to build two 660,000 kW ultra-supercritical lignite-fired generating units, with a designed annual power generation capacity exceeding 4 billion kWh. The project is synchronously equipped with smart power plant and intelligent fuel systems, achieving the centralized application of multiple China-leading technologies. These include the first use of tower boiler technology with medium-speed coal mills adapted for high-moisture lignite, equipping a 100% capacity bypass system in a 600,000 kW class unit in China, and applying one of the first high-power intelligent permanent magnet drive "large and small mill" solutions, providing wide-load, high-efficiency, and flexible regulation capabilities. The project has reserved interfaces in advance for Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS), biomass, and green ammonia co-firing, leaving room for the low-carbon transition of coal power. It will also become a key "voltage stabilizer" for the tens-of-millions-of-kilowatts new energy base in western Jilin.

As a project by the State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) to promote the optimization and upgrading of the energy structure in Northeast China, once operational, it will form the largest thermal power cluster in Jilin Province by installed capacity together with the Baicheng Thermal Power project and the supporting coal power project for the "Jilin Power to Beijing" initiative. This will enhance the power supply guarantee capability and flexible peak-shaving level of the Jilin power grid, providing support for the integrated construction of "Wind-Solar-Thermal-Storage + Green Hydrogen, Ammonia, and Methanol" in Baicheng City and for Jilin Province's efforts to build a national green energy industry hub.

According to the plan, the two units will be completed and put into operation by 2028.
