The Shantou Oil-Fired Power Plant typically stores 26 thousands tons of oil on site. Coal consumption rates for power sold were 340gram/kWh for both 1999 and 2000, respectively. Currently, electricity generated by the Shantou Oil-Fired Power Plant is delivered to the Shantou Provincial Power Grid for sale.
