Shenzhen Mawan Thermal Power Station (深圳马湾电厂) is a coal fired power plant located in Nanshan district in the city of Shenzhen, Guangdong province, China. It was one of the first coal fired plants in China to implement clean coal technology to lower the presence of sulphur and nitrogen oxides in its effluent, thus reducing air pollution dramatically.
