According to reports, the China Pakistan Economic Corridor Csathy Val coal-fired power station No. 1 unit full load operation ceremony in Pakistan Csathy Val city in eastern Punjab Province, marking the China Pakistan Economic Corridor within the framework of the first large-scale energy projects put into operation. Pakistan Prime Minister Sheriff, Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, Sun Weidong and other Chinese and Pakistani friends from all walks of life attended the ceremony more than 500 people.
After 168 hours of full load test run, Csathy Val coal-fired power station unit 1 days before successfully put into operation. According to reports, this is the first batch of China and Pakistan Economic Corridor put into operation of high efficiency coal and electricity units, but also the current capacity of the largest stand-alone Pakistan, the most advanced technology and the fastest construction speed of coal-fired power generation units.
Csathy Val coal-fired power plant (Sahiwalcoal-firedpowerproject) by Chinese Huaneng Shandong Power Generation Co. Ltd. and China Shandong Ruyi group jointly invest in the construction of Pakistan Economic Corridor ", is the implementation of priority projects, Huaneng is in response to" The Belt and Road "initiative, in the first large-scale efficient clean coal projects overseas construction.
The project was officially launched in March 2014 and officially started in July 2015, and plans to build two units of 660 MW (660 thousand KW) supercritical coal-fired generating units. Power plant unit 2 plan by the end of June this year officially put into operation. After the completion of the power station, the annual electricity output is expected to reach 9 billion kwh, is expected to meet the electricity demand of 10 million people in Pakistan, is expected to fill the gap in electricity consumption in Pakistan 1/4.
With the growth of Pakistan's economy and the improvement of living standards, Pakistan is facing a severe power shortage. In 2015, the power gap was about 6 million 400 thousand kilowatts, which seriously restricted the social and economic development. The whole country faced a serious power crisis, and the power crisis caused the GDP growth to slow down by 3%-4% annually. In most parts of the country, more than 8 hours of power failure are occurring, the countryside is more serious, and the lives of the people are seriously affected.
The stability of Pakistan power grid project Csathy Val will be put into commercial operation, capacity improvement has obvious improvement, provide energy good foundation for the development of the local economy, and create favorable conditions for the initial development of the industry.
Pakistan Prime Minister Sheriff said at the ceremony the same day, Csathy Val 1 unit from construction to grid connected power only lasted 22 months, which is unprecedented in the history of Pakistan. The commissioning of the project will help Pakistan overcome the energy shortage and benefit the Palestinian people. Sheriff said that President Xi Jinping proposed the "The Belt and Road initiative not only had great positive effect on Pakistan, will also change along the country and the people's fate.
Sun Weidong said, "as a major project The Belt and Road", an important role in the economic corridor to get attention and appreciation. As long as we adhere to peaceful cooperation, openness and tolerance, mutual learning, mutual benefit and win-win, will continue to promote the "Belt and Road Initiative and the Pakistan Economic Corridor, and make greater contributions to regional development, prosperity and progress.
China electric power construction under Shandong electric power construction company vice chief engineer and Sahiwal coal-fired power plant project manager Duan Changjie said, coal-fired power plants using supercritical technology leader in the world, operating parameters and high thermal efficiency, and the increase of the low temperature economizer based on traditional boiler, improve the utilization rate of heat energy, 1 units have been put into operation can save 54 thousand tons of coal in Pakistan. In addition, the project is equipped with electrostatic precipitator and desulfurization device, to ensure that the economic, technical and environmental indicators reached the international advanced level.
Csathy Val coal-fired power plant project was included in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor "priority implementation" list of items, enjoy the Pakistan government signed a cooperation agreement to determine the safety, taxation, finance, land, electricity and a series of preferential policies, Pakistan government provide a sovereign guarantee for the project.
It is reported that 2 units of Csathy Val power plant will be put into operation in June this year, when Csathy Val power plant in Pakistan will become the largest capacity, most technologically advanced, Pakistan Economic Corridor first started, the fastest production of environmentally friendly coal-fired power plant. The annual power output of the power station will exceed 9 billion kwh, which can effectively alleviate the current situation of power shortage in the region, improve the management level of local thermal power industry, and promote the improvement of people's livelihood and economic and social development in Pakistan.
