On the coast of Bohai Sea, a super nuclear power project is moving from blueprint to reality. In Laiyang, Shandong, Guohe Unit 1 is about to rise from the ground, and China Energy Engineering Corporation has won the large contract for the construction of conventional islands with strong strength, laying the foundation for this green engine with an annual power generation of tens of billions of kilowatt hours and reshaping the energy landscape of the Qilu region.

The bidding results are announced

On October 26, 2026, the bidding candidates for the Shandong Laiyang Nuclear Power Phase I No.2 Conventional Island and BOP Construction and Installation Project with a total investment of 128.3 billion yuan were announced. Two companies from China Energy Construction occupy the top two positions, while the Engineering Bureau under China National Nuclear Corporation was not included in the candidate list. China Energy Construction Zhejiang Thermal Power ranked first with the lowest price.
