SHANGHAI, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Shanghai Electric ("Shanghai Electric" or "the Company") (601727.SS and 02727.
HK) has announced that a series of milestones have been made for its major
international projects since the start of this year. As a world's leading
energy solutions provider, the company continues to ramp up its effort in
accelerating the progress of its construction undertakings around the world
amid global uncertainties brought on by renewed COVID-19 resurgences and
prolonged supply chain disruptions.
Two of its landmark projects – the Rupsha 800-Megawatt combined cycle power
plant project and the Japan Yakai photovoltaic power plant project – are well
underway, with Shanghai Electric Guoxuan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd
(Electric Guoxuan), a subsidiary of Shanghai Electric Power Generation Group,
having recently signed a contract with Pacific Green Technologies Group (PGTK)
of REP 1&2 battery energy storage project in the UK during the online
conference.
UK's REP 1&2 Energy Storage Project
Consisting of two sites with a total capacity of 100MW/100MWH, the UK's REP 1&2
energy storage project, located in the Ridgeborough Energy Park, Kent, is part
of the exclusive agreement between PGTK and TUPA Energy Limited to develop up
to 1,100MW of battery energy storage systems ("BESS") in the country.
It is the first time for Shanghai Electric Power Generation Group to
participate in an international project as the main contractor, working in
tandem with PGTK to pool the best of their expertise and resources to help the
UK expedite energy transformation. The two parties have commenced the designing
process, with the first batch of supplies expected to be delivered in the third
quarter of 2022.
Bangladesh's Rupsha 800-Megawatt Combined Cycle Power Plant Project
Financed by the Asian Development Bank, the project features two one-on-one
F-class combined-cycle gas turbines and it will be the largest gas turbine
power station ever built in the country. Sitting in the Khulna Division, the
second largest division of Bangladesh, the project aims to ease the strain on
the power supply in the southwestern regions of the country as part of
Bangladesh's national strategy to further strengthen its energy security,
playing an essential role in boosting the national economy and providing more
job opportunities for the local residents.
The construction of the project has recently made major progress after Shanghai
Electric announced that the hoisting work of the No.1 gas turbine was
completed, paving the way for the installation stage of its main equipment. The
announcement came after the on-site construction operation was stalled by
multiple challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the dry season that
hindered the delivery of large-size construction materials. Facing difficulties
and challenges , Shanghai Electric coordinated with all teams to ensure
deliveries were made on time, significantly speeding up the overall progress.
Japan's Yakai Photovoltaic Power Plant Project
On April 14, the Yakai photovoltaic power plant in Japan was successfully
connected to the power grid with the support of local subcontractors and power
companies. The solar plant, the first of its kind developed by Shanghai
Electric in the country, is now operating at full capacity to provide over
20-megawatts of renewable energy to local households and businesses.
The on-time completion of the project is the result of the joint efforts of
Shanghai Electric's teams and its partners to mitigate the impact of Japan's
seventh wave of COVID-19 outbreak and the magnitude-7.3 earthquake that struck
Fukushima on March 16. Shanghai Electric also coordinated with the local
government and power companies to enable the power plant to enter commercial
operation ahead of schedule in compliance with local laws and regulations,
allowing the owner to maximize returns on the project.
