Tuoketuo Power Station

The Tuoketuo Power Station (Chinese: 托克托电厂; pinyin: Tuōkètuō Diànchǎng) is the largest coal-fired power station in the world.

[1] The plant is located in Togtoh County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China.

The plant is estimated to have been one of the ten most carbon emitting coal-fired power plants in the world in 2018, at 29.46 million tons of carbon dioxide, and relative emissions are estimated at 1.45 kg per kWh.

[3] The interval of 50 days between the commissioning of the two units of Phase I set a new record of the shortest construction time among comparable units in the North China region.

[3] The power plant exploits coal from the Junggar Coalfield approximately 50 km (31 mi) away, and meets its water requirements by pumping its needs from the Yellow River, located 12 km (7 mi) away.
