Introduction to Hangzhou Banshan Power Plant

Hangzhou Banshan Power Generation Co., Ltd. was formerly known as Hangzhou Banshan Power Plant. It is located on the bank of the Grand Canal in the northern suburbs of Hangzhou. It was founded in 1959 and was restructured into a limited liability company on January 1, 2000. There are five generating units currently in service (2×135MW coal-fired turbines, 3×350MW gas turbines), and the original two 50MW coal-fired generators have been retired. The total installed capacity is 1350MW and it is the main security power supply in Hangzhou. In order to improve the atmospheric environment in Hangzhou, the company invested nearly 500 million yuan in a 2×125,000kW unit flue gas desulfurization project that was put into operation in early 2001.
