Recently, Unit 2 of the 2×660 MW thermal power project under China State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) successfully completed a 168-hour full-load trial operation in Southwest China’s Guizhou Province.
With this, the world’s first 660 MW ultra-supercritical double-arch coal-fired unit has been fully commissioned, marking a significant breakthrough in the field of high-efficiency, clean coal power technology in China.

The project was jointly invested and constructed by SPIC Guizhou Jinyuan Co., Ltd. and Guizhou Panjiang Electric Power Investment & Power Generation Co., Ltd., which is controlled by Guizhou Energy Group. A 750 MW new energy project is being developed in parallel.
Through an integrated operational model, the project has established Guizhou’s first batch of high-efficiency, clean energy complexes integrating wind, solar, thermal, and energy storage in Zhijin County, Bijie City. This enables complementary advantages and injects strong momentum into upgrading the energy structure in Southwest China.
Once operational, the project will generate approximately 6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 300,000 tons per year, according to the SPIC. The project is estimated to achieve an annual output value of about 2 billion yuan ($280.33 million), creating over 1,000 jobs.
As a key component of the first 10-million-kilowatt-level integrated energy base in Southwest China, the project will enhance the stability of power supply in Guizhou, increase the share of clean energy, and provide solid support for the realization of the country’s “dual carbon” goals.
