Southern Company states that the TRIG technology "will be added to an existing gas turbine combined cycle plant so it can use clean synthetic gas from coal as its fuel for generating electricity, rather than fuel oil. The 120-megawatt plant, which is expected to begin operation in 2011, will demonstrate an example of advanced U.S. IGCC technology that is being developed

As of September 2010, the project’s feasibility studies were awaiting state approval. Once granted, construction was expected to take around three years, and start up provisionally planned for 2015.<ref>[http://www.zeroco2.no/projects/dongguan-taiyangzhou-igcc "Dongguan Taiyangzhou IGCC,"] Zero CO2, accessed January 2015</ref>

However, as of 2014 the project does not appear to have received the necessary permits. The Global CCS Institute reports that start up is now planned for 2019.<ref>[http://www.globalccsinstitute.com/project/dongguan-taiyangzhou-igcc-ccs-project "Dongguan Taiyangzhou IGCC with CCS Project,"] Global CCS Institute, accessed January 2015</ref>
