Longgu Cogen power station is a 110 MW coal-fired power plant located in China, operated by GCL-Poly Energy Holdings since its commissioning in 2005. The facility utilizes coal as its primary fuel source, contributing to China's extensive thermal power generation network. It is the 935th largest coal plant in China. With 110 MW, it represents 0.01% of China's total coal capacity of 1,030,281 MW. China has 1,012 coal plants with a combined capacity exceeding 1,030,000 MW. Compared to the largest coal plant in China, East Hope Metals Wucaiwan power station at 7,000 MW, Longgu Cogen is approximately 1/64th the size. Coal is a dominant fuel type in China's energy mix, accounting for about 57% of the country's electricity generation. The Longgu Cogen power station supports local energy needs while contributing to the overall coal dependency of the region. It is situated in the eastern part of the country, approximately 200 km west of Shanghai.
