Shanghai Electric has been staying true to its ESG commitments with the promotion of its 4+2+X development strategy that focuses on emerging fields supported by advanced technologies with a strong focus on wind-solar-hydrogen-storage integration. The key goal of the strategy is energy and industrial carbon emissions reduction, and actively building its three-dimensional zero-carbon industrial park solution that provides industrial parks with everything from the design and construction of green industrial plants with a distributed new energy supply that features green smart manufacturing lines producing industrial-driven energy efficiency improvements. Shanghai Electric's key smart industry solutions launched this year include its Integrated Wind, Solar, Storage and Distribution Solution and Energy Carbon Smart Butler which are key pillars in the Company's ESG commitments.

Shanghai Electric has undertaken and participated in the construction of several key projects in support of Dubai's Clean Energy Strategy that aims to produce 75 per cent of its energy requirements from clean sources by 2050. One of these projects is the construction of Dubai's 700MW concentrated solar power (CSP) and 250MW photovoltaic solar power station engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) project, Noor Energy 1, co-invested by the Saudi International Electricity and Water Company (ACWA Power), the Silk Road Fund, and the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority.

Noor Energy 1, the largest single-site concentrated solar power plant in the world, located in Phase 4 of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, adopts an advanced tower solar thermal and trough solar thermal technology combination, which set a new global benchmark as the world's tallest concentrated solar power (CSP) tower and largest thermal energy storage capacity. Upon completion, the project will provide green energy for 320,000 households and reduce carbon emissions by 1.6 million tons annually.

Moving forward, Shanghai Electric will continue the development of high-quality, green, and low-carbon energy equipment while undertaking more global energy projects that will encourage more global partners to join sustainable development efforts, promote global climate governance, and collaborate to realize a greener future for all.
