Boiler No. 2 of China's highest ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation project was successfully ignited

China News Service, Xining, October 19 (Reporter Sun Rui) At 02:35 on October 18, the No. 2 boiler of Qinghai Huadian Golmud Phase I 2×660MW coal power project, the highest ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation project in China, was successfully ignited. The furnace combustion was stable and all parameters were normal, marking that Unit 2 has officially entered a new stage of thermal debugging.

The project is located about 8 kilometers southeast of Golmud City, Hainan Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with an average altitude of about 2,800 meters. It is currently the ultra-supercritical indirect air-cooled coal-fired power generation unit project under construction in China with the highest altitude and the largest installed capacity. Two 660MW units are planned, with a total investment of approximately 6.2 billion yuan and a designed annual power generation capacity of approximately 6 billion kilowatt hours. It is planned to put both units into operation by the end of 2026.

It is reported that the project is a supporting power supply for cross-season regulation for self-use in Qinghai Province. After it is put into operation, it will serve as an important supporting power supply for Qinghai Power Grid, complementing new energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaics, effectively improving the safe and stable operation capabilities of Qinghai Power Grid, providing peak regulation guarantee for large-scale grid connection and consumption of new energy, and promoting the large-scale and intensive development of clean energy in Qinghai Province.
