SHANGHAI, May 25, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-Anniversary reveals six historical milestone in energy cooperation

representing the strong business tie between two countries-

Shanghai Electric is now celebrating the 27th anniversary of its entering

Pakistan markets since 1993. Yesterday was itself a related anniversary, making

69 years since China established diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Shanghai

Electric, representing the first batch of Chinese companies entering the

market, has generated a string of milestone projects in categories that include

thermal power, nuclear power, and Power Transmission and Distribution under the

umbrella of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (the "CPEC").  

Thermal power

-Muzaffarnagarh thermal power plant project - The Muzaffarnagarh thermal power

plant is Shanghai Electric's first overseas EPC project since the Company

entering Pakistan in 1993, and the project facilitated 320MW steam turbines

provided by Shanghai Electric started operating in July 1997.

-Thar Integrated Coal Mine-Power Project - Shanghai Electric signed the EPC

contract for a block coal-fired power station project in Thar Coalfield,

Pakistan, in December 2016. In April 2019 Shanghai Electric signed another EPC

contract for Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine-Power Project with an installed

capacity of 2 x 660MW and a coalmine with an annual coal production capacity of

7.8 million tons. The project is capable of powering 4 million households in

Pakistan with 1320 megawatts of indigenous, affordable and reliable

electricity. Shanghai electric is also applying ultra-supercritical technology,

which can run at higher net efficiency than the annual average net efficiency

required by Pakistani government. Additionally, the plants will operate with a

high Acid Gas removal rate, with low sulfur dioxide emissions to reduce

environmental impact when it begins to generate electricity in 2022.

-Sahiwal 2 x 660MW thermal power plant project - Shanghai Electric was

commissioned to provide steam turbines, generators and auxiliary equipment for

Sahiwal 2 x 660MW coal fired power station, the contract for which was signed

in June 2015. Shanghai electric reduced the production time to 12 months by

leveraging the new mode of the steam turbine designed with supercritical

cylinder, with the generator stator iron center, coil and shaft tile

optimization further improving the efficiency of the Plant.

Nuclear Power

-Chashma nuclear power plant project - The nuclear power plant, which features

a 300,000 kW pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, is the first export

civil nuclear power project of China's own design and construction. Shanghai

Electric provided the major components of the nuclear island and the

conventional island in the hope of alleviating the local power shortage problem

and provided clean, efficient and safe electricity to expedite Pakistan's path

to the energy self-sufficiency.

-Karachi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 and Unit 3 (K2, K3) - The nuclear

powerplant marked another major step forward in the field of energy cooperation

between China and Pakistan as the first overseas "Hualong No.1" nuclear reactor

in Karachi, with the project scheduled to be finished by the end of 2020.

Shanghai Electric provided the main equipment for the conventional island and

nuclear island of the Karachi nuclear power plant. The project is poised to

ease the local power shortage situation.

Power Grid Transmission and Distribution

-TP1000 Karachi Urban Power Grid Transformation Project - Karachi's urban power

grid transformation project is one of the integrated urban power grid

construction projects in Pakistan designed to improve the reliability and

stability of Karachi's power transmission infrastructure. Shanghai Electric is

responsible for all the major steps from conducting survey, power transmission

and distribution circuit design, to the power plant commissioning, in addition

to supplying substation equipment and cable accessories. The Company has always

been an active force in creating a learning-oriented community in the region,

and the local employees of Shanghai Electric have been offered technical

training and shared with project management experience by Chinese employees,

which effectively generated a longer-term impact on Pakistan's power industry.
