Dandong Power Plant had originally been developed and constructed by HIPDC which transferred all its rights and interests therein to the Company effective 31st December, 1994.
The Dandong Power Plant is located on the outskirts of the city of Dandong. It has an installed capacity of 700MW and consists of two 350MW coal-fired units supplied by Westinghouse Electric Corporation and Mitsui Babcock Energy Ltd., U.K., and commenced commercial operations in January 1999.
Coal supply for the Dandong Power Plant is obtained from several coal producers located in Zhungar and the northern area of Shanxi Province. Coal is transported by rail from the mines to Qinhuangdao port and shipped by barge to the port of Dadong in Dandong, where it will be unloaded and transported to the Dandong Power Plant using special coal handling facilities. Coal consumption rates for power sold were 330gram/kWh and 326gram/kWh for the year of 1999 and 2000, respectively. Electricity generated by the Dandong Power Plant is delivered to the Northeast Power Grid for sale.
