Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--A consortium formed of China Power Construction Engineering Consulting Corporation (Beijing) and Central Southern China Electric Power Design Institute (Wuhan), two subsidiaries of China Power Engineering Consultants Corporation (CPECC) (Beijing), received the notice-of-bid award issued by Shanghai CNTC Tendering Company Limited (Shanghai), the authorized tendering agent of the Ma'anshan Power Plant 1,200-megawatt (MW) expansion project recently.
