Since the beginning of the year, China Energy Engineering Group Co., Ltd (Energy China) has been striving to promote green energy power development in both domestic and international markets.
In the Kubuqi Desert along the Yellow River, a remarkable 500-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project, led by North China Power Engineering Co., Ltd. of China Power Engineering Consulting Group, a subsidiary of Energy China, is progressing rapidly. Despite facing harsh challenges like sandstorms and cold weather, the project has impressively reached installation readiness in just over 40 days. As spring approaches, the project is continuing to advance, reaching over 50 percent of its total progress.
The 500-kV substation incorporates cutting-edge technologies in the energy and power sector. Its intelligent control system allows for precise grid dispatching, while high-efficiency transformers improve power transmission. The eco-friendly design reduces energy consumption.
This project is currently the largest single 500-kV power transmission and transformation project in the western Inner Mongolia region and will serve as an important node in the “photovoltaic Great Wall” against desertification in Kubuqi Desert.

As new energy flourishes and traditional energy undergoes transformation, on Feb 12, the first unit of the 2×1000MW coal-fired project in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, undertaken by Energy China’s subsidiary, successfully completed its electrical commissioning. Located in Hami, Xinjiang, the project will help optimize the national power distribution network and ensure energy supply to the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle once operational.
On Feb 9, Energy China’s Tabuk II gas turbine project in Saudi Arabia reached 1 million safe work hours. Located in Medina, the project will provide reliable power to the region and support Saudi Arabia’s energy transformation.
In Africa, Energy China has made significant strides in international energy partnerships. Its subsidiary, along with international partners, successfully completed a water pressure test of the first boiler for the 46 MW biomass power station in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. This is the largest biomass power station under construction in West Africa. Once completed, the project will help transform the local energy structure and boost economic development.
In Southeast Asia, Energy China’s Jiangsu Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. successfully completed the construction of the 60 MW/82 MWh battery energy storage station in Malaysia. This is Malaysia’s first utility-scale energy storage project, integrating biomass energy and battery storage to optimize the power grid in Sarawak. The project will reduce carbon emissions by more than 100,000 tons annually.
