In context: how this plant compares

At 100 MW, Yulin Longtan Industrial Park cogen power station is below the median coal plant in China (700 MW). Technically it is described as subcritical. 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.
