On April 17, Shandong Weihai Puyuan Thermal Power Co., Ltd. Weihai Thermal Power Co., Ltd. Weihai Thermal Power 2×66 thousand kilowatt cogeneration project general contracting (EPC) bidding results were announced, China Electric Power Engineering Consulting Group Northeast Electric Power Design Institute Co., Ltd. and China Energy Construction Group Tianjin Electric Power Construction Co., Ltd. won the project with a price of 5.118 billion yuan.

The project is located in the east of Qishan Town, Lingang Economic and Technological Development Zone, Weihai City, Shandong Province, with a new 2×66 million kW ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating unit, and simultaneous construction of high-efficiency dust removal, flue gas desulfurization and denitrification devices. The project adopts ultra-supercritical units, with high thermal efficiency, low coal consumption, and advanced environmental protection facilities, which can greatly improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, meet the requirements of the national "double carbon" goal, and help improve ambient air quality.

Founded in 1950, the Northeast Institute of Electric Power Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd., which won the bid, is the first electric power survey and design unit after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and can be called the pioneer and founder of China's electric power survey and design industry, and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Electric Power Engineering Consulting Group Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Energy Construction Group.

Northeast Institute holds a number of Grade A qualification certificates such as comprehensive Grade A engineering design and comprehensive Grade A engineering survey, and has made great achievements in key areas such as UHV transmission, smart grid, large-scale thermal power and nuclear power engineering design, and has been deeply involved in more than 90% of UHV projects in China, and its core business is thermal power technology transformation, ranking in the third echelon of design institutes under China Energy Construction, with revenue falling by 18% in 2023.

Compared with the genes of China Power Construction Co., Ltd., which was born out of water conservancy and hydropower construction, China Energy Construction has inherited the mantle of the national team in the field of thermal power, and has almost monopolized in the field of UHV transmission and nuclear power conventional island design, controlling 90% of domestic thermal power and 70% of the power grid design standards, and is now gradually extending to the fields of photovoltaic, wind power and energy storage, occupying about 50% of the market share in the new energy construction market.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
