Guangxi Fangchenggang Shenglong Metallurgical Gas Power Project is a 655 MW gas power station in Guangxi, China. It is operated by Guangxi Shenglong Metallurgical Co Ltd [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 738k homes (estimated). It ranks #1482 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2021, it is around 5 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).

In context: how this plant compares
At 655 MW, Guangxi Fangchenggang Shenglong Metallurgical Gas Power Project is well above the median gas plant in China (283.5 MW). Technically it is described as Steam. 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.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

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 (dry winter) climate (Köppen Cwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 21.7°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 an aggressive, high-corrosion environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C5 — Very high), with marine salt corrosion 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 #222 largest gas power plant of 595 in China by capacity.
China has 595 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 333,508 MW of capacity.
