[Hubei Province Macheng Yangxin Expressway North Extension Project Launch Bidding]On May 30, 2023, the Hubei Provincial Electronic Tendering and Bidding Trading Platform released a bidding announcement for the MYBTZ-1 bid section of the North Extension Line of the Macheng Yangxin Expressway. The bidder was the Huanggang Municipal People's Government, with an estimated contract price of 5.15 billion yuan. The northern extension of the Macheng Yangxin Expressway starts from Qiujiadang Village to the east of Muzidian Town in Macheng City, connects with the Mayang Expressway, crosses the Shanghai Chengdu Expressway, extends northward, passes through Tangjiachong to Longmenhe Village, enters Sanhekou Town, and then extends northward along the G220 channel. It successively passes through the Hewu Railway and the Hewu section of the Shanghai Chongqing Chengdu High Speed Railway, passes west of the Sanhekou Reservoir, passes through Qianfan Village and Shangshang Village, and ends near Linjiagang at the border of Hubei and Henan provinces, It is connected to the Phase II project of the Yangxin Expressway Mall to the boundary between Henan and Hubei provinces planned by Henan Province, and the overall route runs in a north-south direction. The total length of the route is about 32 kilometers, constructed according to the standard of a two-way four lane highway, with a design speed of 100 kilometers per hour and a roadbed width of 26.0 meters. We plan to build 7517 meters/22 bridges, 8303 meters/6.5 tunnels, 3 interchanges, 1 service area, 2 toll management stations, 1 monitoring sub center, and 1 maintenance work area. The total investment is estimated to be approximately 5.15 billion yuan. Editor/Zhao E
As the core sub item of the provisional estimate for EPC general contracting, it is steadily advancing. The system adopts advanced environmental protection technology, which can achieve ultra-low emissions of flue gas pollutants and form an ecological closed loop with the zero discharge design of project wastewater and photovoltaic sand control engineering. The project is a benchmark for the national "Shagehuang" large-scale new energy base. The construction of the desulfurization system will ensure the clean operation of 3.96 million kilowatts of coal-fired peak shaving power supply, helping the base to deliver a large amount of green electricity to the Sichuan Chongqing region every year and alleviate the regional energy supply-demand imbalance. This environmental protection measure not only demonstrates the social responsibility of energy projects, but also provides solid support for the green and sustainable development of the integrated model of "wind solar thermal storage".Editor/Bian Wenjun
The Omar Jagaa solar power plant in Djibouti, which Egypt helped build, has officially been put into operation, writing a new chapter in green energy cooperation between the two countries. The power plant adopts advanced photovoltaic technology, which significantly increases the proportion of clean energy supply in Djibouti after operation, effectively alleviating the pressure of local power shortage and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. During the project construction period, the Egyptian team not only provided core technical support, but also conducted localized talent training, cultivating a group of new energy operation and maintenance backbone for Djibouti. This model of cooperation not only promotes the transformation of Djibouti's energy structure, but also injects strong impetus into the green development of the African region.Editor/Bian Wenjun
