Maoming cogen power station is a 1,350 MW gas power station in Guangdong, China. It ranks #551 of 6,685 China power plants by installed capacity. Its modelled annual emissions are 5,210,900 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE), equivalent to about 1.2 million cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 3.2% of China's electricity; the national grid averages 525 gCO₂/kWh (41.7% low-carbon) (2025).

At 1,350 MW, Maoming cogen 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). Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. 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.
