On February 24, CHNG (China
Huaneng) Chongqing Liangjiang Gas-Fired Power Plant Phase II successfully
connected its Unit No.3 to the grid. The project is set to complete the
commissioning of Unit No.3 by March 2025, with all units expected to be fully
operational within the year. Once completed, it will become the largest natural
gas clean energy power plant in Southwest China.
Phase II of the
project, which began construction in May 2024, includes the installation of two
H (J)-class gas-steam combined cycle units with a total installed capacity of 2×741.87 MW. The Phase I project, completed in 2014,
includes 2×467.34 MW F-class
combined cycle units. After the completion of Phase II, the plant’s total
installed capacity will reach 2,418 MW, with an annual power generation
capacity of approximately 10 billion kWh. The plant is expected to consume 2-2.5
BCM of natural gas per year.
