The value of the bid amounted to about $140 million.

The Wanji Holding's Xin'an Coal-fired Power Project, located at Miaotou Village, Tiemen Town, in Xin'an County of central China's Henan province, is to be furnished with two 600-megawatt (MW), ultra-supercritical, coal-fired units in the initial phase, with a total investment of about $860 million. The project will replace small units with larger ones. It will gradually replace the six existing 135-MW units to supply heat and power to Wanji Holding's industrial park in Luoyang.

In November 2012, the project received preliminary approval from the National Energy Administration (NEA) to kick off pre-stage preparation. On December 7, 2013, the main turbine, generator and boiler (TGB) equipment for the project were awarded to Shanghai Electric Corporation (Shanghai) and Harbin Boiler Works.

HEPC2 will be responsible for the construction of the No. 1 cooling tower, as well as its surrounding roads, the civil works of chimney support in No. 1 boiler zone, and the general water, electricity and heating works. As per schedule, construction of the project will kick off later this year, and both units of the project will be put into operation by the end of 2015.

A 400,000-metric-ton-per-year aluminum foil project, a 200,000-metric-ton-per-year titanium pigment project, a 100,000-metric-ton-per-year medium and thick steel plate project and a 600,000-metric-ton-per-year hot roll steel mill will be commissioned by the end of 2015 to support Wanji Holding's Aluminum Smelter in Luoyang.
