2023 marks a new milestone as the Company has completed a 168-hour trial operation of the 660 MW coal-fired power station unit 2 in the Yanghuopan coal-electricity integration project. Designed by Shanghai Electric–SPX Engineering & Technologies Co., Ltd., the project is the first of its kind powered by natural ventilation direct cooling (NDC) system which delivers exceptionally better performance in terms of energy efficiency, emissions reduction, noise reduction, frost resistance, and operational flexibility compared with mechanical ventilation direct cooling (ACC) and natural ventilation indirect cooling (ISC) systems.
Shanghai Electric Power Engineering Company has been selected as the general contractor for Phase I and Phase II projects of the renewable energy power station in Selangor, Malaysia. A key project commissioned by the state's government to boost the local economy while enhancing the well-being of residents, the station is capable of processing 2,900 tons of waste per day, as well as helping decontaminate and reuse half of the solid waste generated within the state.
In the UK, the 20.8 MW Low Farm project, the seventh installment among a series of eight photovoltaic projects in the country constructed by Shanghai Electric, has been connected to the grid, contributing to the UK's renewable energy capacity and supporting the country's efforts in transitioning towards a greener and more sustainable future. The official operation of the project reinforces Shanghai Electric's position as a leader in the global new energy market and showcases its capability in building large-scale photovoltaic projects in the Western markets that uphold high standards of quality for infrastructure construction.
