The Pingshan power station is a large modern coal-fired power station in China. The power station is divided into two phases with phase one consisting of two 660 MW units both with scrubbing systems and cooling towers. [1] Phase two has one ultra-supercritical secondary reheat unit with a 1350 MW capacity. This unit is one of the single largest coal units in the world, it also has the worlds largest cooling tower with a height of 210 m (689 ft).[2]

The engineering and design works for the power station were completed by East China Institute of Energy. The Phase 2 unit has coal consumption rate of 251g/kWh.[3]
