In the South American continent, the Himalayas, and the tropical deserts of the Middle East..., Energy China will provide overall solutions for the energy, power, infrastructure and other industries in China and the world along the One Belt One Road. Up to now, Energy China has set up 265 overseas branches in 90 countries and regions around the world, with business covering 147 countries and regions, and is in the forefront of central enterprises.

Beautiful Mountain erects China Power Grid

The second phase of the ±800KV UHV DC transmission project of Brazil's Beautiful Mountain, which gathers 80% of Brazil's economic activities along the route, is the largest clean energy transfer project in Brazil. As the first project of China's UHV transmission technology to go overseas, the survey and design of this "great dragon" is inseparable from the diligence and wisdom of China Energy Engineering's engineers. According to Xu Bin, the project manager of the Central South Research Institute of Energy China, the company has successively dispatched more than 70 professionals in 4 years and 3 months, and has overcome various challenges such as different project management models, differences in design standards and habits, and complex design interfaces. The "green power highway" that runs through Brazil's north and south becomes possible.

From Brazil’s Mira Mountain Power Transmission Project to Pakistan’s NJ Hydropower Station, to the Argentine Energy Construction Project Kongla Hydropower Station..., from China’s first million-kilowatt IPP thermal power project, Indonesia’s Java 7 power plant, to the first overseas application of Chinese completely independent knowledge The Karachi Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan with the property rights "Hualong No. 1" nuclear power technology standards, to the first clean power station in the Middle East, Hasyan Power Plant..., from Singapore’s first large-scale floating photovoltaic project Sembcorp Tengger floating photovoltaic power plant to the world’s largest The oil shale power generation project Jordan Atalat oil shale power station, and then to the world's largest solar power generation project Dubai 950 MW solar thermal photovoltaic power plant...

China’s dams, China’s roads, and the world’s number one energy super project were born in the hands of the builders of China’s energy construction projects, in order to brighten the light and inject strong “energy construction power”.

It is reported that as of December 2020, Energy China’s international projects have signed a total of 700 billion yuan, and power projects accounted for more than one-third of the total contracted overseas power projects of Chinese-funded enterprises. In the past three years, the signing of international engineering construction contracts has maintained an average growth rate of more than 10%, becoming the first echelon among Chinese "going out" enterprises.

Construction of a hydroelectric power station at the southernmost point of the world

Using river water to generate electricity has been the dream of Argentines for more than half a century. The Santa Cruz River originates from the Moreno Glacier, one of only three glaciers in the world whose total area is still growing. In 2013, the joint venture formed by Energy China Gezhouba Group and Arab companies won the bid for the "Kise" hydropower station project, giving the Argentines the hope of realizing their dreams. Moreno Glacier is more than 100 kilometers away from the project site. Protecting the surrounding ecological environment has become an important task for the implementation of the project. With rich experience and advanced technology, Chinese engineers have made careful design arrangements.

Zhang Hong, the design director of the "Kise" Hydropower Station Project Department, once pointed out that in order not to affect the Moreno Glacier, the water storage height of the dam of the hydropower station was lowered by 2.4 meters from the original plan, fully meeting environmental protection requirements. The challenge of building a hydropower station at the southernmost point of the earth is more than these. Yuan Zhixiong, deputy project manager, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that construction near the world-famous Moreno Glacier is not easy. It is not only necessary to deal with extreme cold weather, but also to comprehensively consider problems such as ecology, cultural relics and fossil protection, and to prevent and control the epidemic. "We coordinate all participating units to establish a joint prevention and control mechanism to ensure uninterrupted construction. Scientific epidemic prevention is used to help local epidemic prevention and control."

Argentine Mariano Musso said that it is also his duty and wish to better introduce the "Belt and Road" to all walks of life in Argentina. In the near future, after the completion of this large-scale hydropower station, the average annual power generation is expected to meet the daily electricity consumption of 1.5 million Argentine households and to meet Argentina’s “thirst” for energy.

Along the Belt and Road, for the common dream, the "most beautiful retrogrades" that China can build arrive in Pakistan, Vietnam, ... using "Chinese-style epidemic prevention", watch and help each other, and convey "the temperature of China". "When we look back on the past, one of the best things we will remember is that we are united and have brotherhood during the epidemic." Fang Jiezhi, director of the Hunutlu Power Plant Project, expressed his gratitude. On September 29, China Energy Construction International Group was established. In the post-epidemic era, China Energy's "going out" step will be firmer.

Sing the moving melody of cooperation and win-win

Kenyan girl Fis Nazbi, an engineer at the Swak Dam, said: "I am very happy to work in China to be able to build. With water supply, there will be enough food and stable electricity. This will bring huge benefits to the local society, and I can also live a good life." At the Swak Dam, the proportion of local employees is as high as 90%. They have benefited from the construction of the dam and their lives have changed dramatically.

The Swak Dam is a key project of the Kenyan government and an important project for China and Kenya to jointly build the Belt and Road. After completion, it will provide safe and clean domestic water for more than 3 million people in neighboring towns, alleviate power shortages, and promote agricultural development and farmers Increase income. In addition to the construction of the dam, Energy China is building a water supply tunnel with a diameter of 3 meters and a total length of 11.7 kilometers to send clean water to more people.

In addition, China Energy Construction actively fulfills its social responsibilities, not only building drinking water projects, schools and other infrastructure, but also using its professional advantages, cultivating talents, and solving employment problems.

On the Kwanza River, at the peak of the construction of the Kekai Hydropower Station in Angola, it brought nearly 6,000 jobs to Angola, and also trained a group of power station management and technical talents for the local area. The UHV Project in Brazil's Beautiful Mountains brought local 16,000 jobs; During the peak construction period of Argentina’s Kongla Hydropower Station, it provided nearly 5,000 direct jobs and 20,000 indirect jobs for the local area; during the implementation of the 500 kV EETC transmission project in Egypt, more than 7,000 jobs have been created for the local area...

Towering iron towers, blue sky, long-boom cranes... The “Jointly Drawing Homeland Beauty” organized by Energy China has attracted nearly 400 local children to participate. Beautiful longing. The TCF school is near the Hubu Power Station project. The principal Ateed Riaz said: “There is a saying in China-'Ten years of trees, 100 years of people', hope that as the construction of the'China-Pakistan Economic Corridor' progresses, the next generation of the people of the two countries Continue the Sino-Pakistani friendship."

Energy China actively implements the Belt and Road Initiative and fulfills its social responsibilities, forging a profound friendship with the host country and people, and singing the moving melody of win-win cooperation. Editor/Tian Zengpeng
