Anji Meixi Gas power station is a 1,686 MW gas power station in Zhejiang, China. It is operated by National Energy Group Zhejiang Electric Power Co Ltd [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 1.9 million homes (estimated). It ranks #475 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2025, it is around 1 years old — recently built. In context, gas supplies about 3.2% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

Capacity provenance
The public capacity above is the current source-record value. A 2026 tracker candidate lists 843 MW for Anji Meixi Gas power station, but it is not used as the public primary value until scope is verified (unit vs operating vs installed/project total).
Data provenance
Capacity and fuel are the upstream open-dataset record, not yet matched to a 2026 registry or GEM entry.

In context: how this plant compares
At 1,686 MW, Anji Meixi Gas power station is well above the median gas plant in China (283.5 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG); GE Vernova: 9HA.02, Harbin Electric General Gas Turbine (Qin. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.

Climate zone & how it works
This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 30.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Climate zone & typical temperatures: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid).
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
How it compares & nearby plants
The #32 largest gas power plant of 595 in China by capacity.
