SEPCC2 has established a consolidated partnership with Chongqing Energy. In addition to the current contract, the SEPCC2 is responsible for the maintenance of plant units 1 and 2.

Chongqing Energy also has awarded the construction and erection contract for Unit 3 (Bid I) to Tianjin Electric Power Construction Company Limited (TEPC). Dongfang Electric Corporation (Chengdu, Sichuan) won the contract to provide turbines, generators and boilers (TGB) for the project.
