Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant

The Zhangzhou Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power station under construction in Lieyu Town, Yunxiao County, Zhangzhou on the coast of Fujian Province, in southeast China. The plant is owned by CNNC Guodian Zhangzhou Energy Co. Ltd., established in November 2011, which is owned by China National Nuclear Corporation (51%) and China Guodian Corporation (49%). CNNC originally planned to have AP1000 light water reactors, but later changed plans to the Hualong One design. China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued construction licenses for Zhangzhou units 1 and 2 on 9 October 2019, and first concrete for Unit 1 was poured one week later, on 16 October. China's State Council approved the construction of two Hualong One units as Phase II on 14 September 2022. Construction of the first began on 22 February 2024. The first unit began commercial operation on 1 January 2025, 5.2 years after the start of construction. The second unit began commercial operation on 1 January 2026. From May 2024, units 5 and 6 are steadily advancing site selection and preliminary environmental impact assessment work.
