In context: how this plant compares
At 700 MW, Guodian Langfang power station is around the median coal plant in China (700 MW). Technically it is described as ultra-supercritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Announced” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
