Changzhi Tunliu power station270 MW Coal

Coal

The Changzhi Tunliu power station plays a vital role in China's energy landscape, contributing significantly to the national energy generation through its coal-based power production. Located at coordinates 36.3653 latitude and 112.8506 longitude, this power plant has a capacity of 270 MW, positioning it as a crucial asset in the region's energy mix. Operated by Luan Mining Industry Group Co, the plant was commissioned in 2006 and remains a key player in the local electricity supply, particularly in the Shanxi province, known for its rich coal reserves. The coal-fired technology employed at Changzhi Tunliu allows for efficient energy generation, harnessing the abundant fossil fuel resources available in the area. With the growing energy demands in China, the plant's operation underscores the country’s reliance on coal as a primary energy source, even as it navigates the transition towards more sustainable energy alternatives. The facility not only supports the provincial grid by ensuring a stable power supply but also aligns with national policies aimed at bolstering energy security. As coal continues to be a significant contributor to China's energy generation, the Changzhi Tunliu power station exemplifies the ongoing importance of traditional fuel sources in meeting the needs of a rapidly industrializing nation.
