Taipingling nuclear power plant

Taipingling nuclear power plant in context

By gross operating capacity Taipingling nuclear power plant is the 18th largest of 18 operating nuclear sites in China, holding 2% of the country's operating capacity, and ranks 134th of 172 worldwide.

Its operating unit started up in 2026; the unit is 0.0 years old, younger than the median of 10.0 in China.

The one unit with both construction and grid dates on record took 6.1 years from construction start to grid connection; the median across all reactors connected in the 2020s is 7.7 years.

The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Ling'ao nuclear power plant (45 km), Daya Bay nuclear power plant (47 km) and Lufeng nuclear power plant (85 km).

Build time by unit

Nearest tracked nuclear sites

How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
