The Jinjeng is a key infrastructure asset in China's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 700 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the China National Petroleum Corporation, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2005, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within China, Jinjeng occupies the #47 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 700 MW capacity represents a 1.08% share of China's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 64,706 MW. The largest operational gas installation in China is the Black Point Power Station with an output of 2,500 MW, making the Jinjeng approximately 3.6 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0433% of China's aggregate generation capacity of 1,617,141 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 2,452,800 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in China consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 817,600 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 39.8900° latitude and 116.5300° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Beijing - Northwest (gas, 2,100 MW), Bejing Southwest (gas, 1,538 MW), Beijing - Northeast Gas (gas, 1,400 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of China.
