The Datun Mine power station is a coal-fired power generation facility situated in China, precisely located at coordinates 34.8684 latitude and 116.9414 longitude. Commissioned in 2005, this power plant has a substantial generation capacity of 390 MW, positioning it as an important player in the local and national energy landscape. Operated by Shanghai Datun Energy Resources Co Ltd, the facility utilizes coal as its primary fuel source, employing conventional thermal generation technology that converts the thermal energy from burning coal into electricity. In a country that continues to rely heavily on coal for energy generation, the Datun Mine power station serves a critical role in meeting the energy demands of the surrounding regions. With China's ongoing energy transition and efforts to diversify its energy sources, the significance of the Datun Mine power station is underscored by the need for reliable base-load power generation. The facility not only supports local energy needs but also aligns with the broader context of China's energy policies, which are increasingly balancing coal utilization with renewable energy initiatives, aiming for a more sustainable energy future.
