---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--China Guodian Corporation (Beijing) laid the foundation for its green power project, Phase I of the Tianjin northeast suburban thermal power plant, on November 21, 2007. The ceremony was held in northern China's Tianjin City. The project is one of China Guodian's first urban power projects in a city directly under the State Council, and it is also the first green power project furnished with advanced environment-protection technologies, such as flue gas desulfurization, denitration and an integrated chimney-cooling tower, Chen Fei, China Guodian's Vice President, said at the ceremony.

The power plant is targeting energy conservation and environmental protection and has effective energy conservation means, including a centralized heat supply and the ability to utilize intermediate water. The project will play an important function in promoting energy conservation and emissions reduction in Tianjin.

The plant is jointly invested by China Guodian and Tianjin Jineng Investment Company Limited (Tianjin). It has a total planned capacity of 1,320 megawatts (MW) with four 330-MW units. Phase I will be furnished with two 330-MW combined heat and power coal-fired generating units with an estimated total investment of $358 million. The project is expected to go into operation in May 2009. Upon completion, the project will have an annual power output of 3.3 billion kilowatt-hours and an annual heat-supply capacity of 5.71 million gigajoules capable of covering a heat-supply area of 13 million square meters. The capacity will not only meet increasing power demand in Tianjin but also provide sufficient heat supply for the urban districts, as well as Tianjin's Coastal New District.
