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.
