Northwest Electric Power Design Institute (Xi'an), a regional subsidiary of China Power Engineering Consulting Corporation (Beijing), is responsible for the engineering of the project. Civil construction and equipment erection has been awarded to Northwest Electric Power Construction Corporation (Xi'an). Northwest Electric Power Construction Management Company Limited (Xi'an) is responsible for the construction management of the project.
