Liaoning Haicheng power station is a 150 MW biomass power station in Liaoning, China. It is operated by Haicheng Huitong Sewage Treatment Co Ltd. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 206k homes (estimated). It ranks #2333 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. In context, biomass supplies about 2.0% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 150 MW, Liaoning Haicheng power station is well above the median biomass plant in China (30 MW). Biomass plants burn organic material such as wood, residues or waste-derived fuel to raise steam; they are dispatchable and counted as low-carbon where the feedstock is sustainably sourced.

This biomass plant burns organic material (wood, residues) to raise steam for a turbine. It sits in a monsoon hot-summer continental climate (Köppen Dwa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 40.9°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 54% above the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 81/100 — this site sits in the top third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
For a plant’s outdoor hardware — heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG), expansion joints, valves, flanges and their insulation — the local climate sets how fast unprotected steel and coatings degrade. This site sits in a mild atmospheric environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C2 — Low), with thermal cycling the leading environmental stress.
Higher environmental severity is exactly where protective removable insulation pays back most: a sheltered micro-climate slows corrosion, UV and thermal-cycling damage and extends outdoor hardware service life. This is an indicative site-climate context — not a condition assessment of any specific plant or operator.
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.
The #8 largest biomass power plant of 981 in China by capacity.
China has 981 biomass power plants in this dataset, together about 30,108 MW of capacity.
