Hello out there,

I wish to find out how many coal fired power generators are in
operation in China.  Please quote any government sources or links that
can provide more info for research.
Have a great day.

braindamage,

According to the official State Power Corporation of China, there are
70 coal-fired power plants in operation. The following table lists
plants by Name, Location (Province, Municipality or Autonomous
Region), Plant capacity (MW), and Fuel type:

These figures are for plants of 1000 MegaWatts and above, as of
December 31, 2000.

Coal-fired power generation represents slightly over 75% of the total
electrical power produced in China:
