World Power Plants

Shunde Oil is a significant power generation facility located in China, contributing to the country's energy landscape with its oil-based technology. With a capacity of 278 MW, Shunde Oil plays a crucial role in meeting the energy demands of the region, particularly in Guangdong Province, where it is situated at coordinates 22.7900 latitude and 113.1800 longitude. This power plant utilizes oil as its primary fuel type, which positions it within the broader spectrum of fossil fuel energy generation in China. The operational context of Shunde Oil is particularly noteworthy, as it aligns with the national energy strategy aimed at balancing various energy sources to ensure reliability and stability in the power grid. The facility's output is essential for supporting local industries and residential demand, thereby enhancing the overall economic activity in the area. As China continues to navigate its energy transition, oil power plants like Shunde Oil remain significant, particularly in regions where renewable energy sources are still being developed and integrated into the grid. Shunde Oil’s contribution to the national energy mix underscores the ongoing reliance on traditional fossil fuels while also highlighting the challenges and opportunities present in the shift toward cleaner energy solutions.
