SEPC4 Completes Steam Turbine Installation of Unit 1 for Houma Power Plant's Coal-Fired Cogeneration Project

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Shanxi Electric Power Construction No.4 Company Limited (SEPC4) (Taiyuan, Shanxi), a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing), completed the final assembly of the steam turbine cylinders for Unit 1 of the 600-megawatt (MW) Houma Power Plant's coal-fired cogeneration unit addition on March 20. With the completion of the steam turbine cylinders assembly, the erection of the steam turbine's main body has been completed, the CEEC said on Tuesday.

The unit passed the quality inspection by the Shanxi Provincial Quality Supervision Center Station on March 12. The final assembly began on March 17, 2014. Three days later, the final assembly for the low-pressure cylinder and the middle- and high-pressure cylinder was completed.

The Houma Power Plant is a thermal power facility that was built in 1968. The plant currently has only two 50-MW cogeneration units, which are operated by Shanxi Zhangze Electric Power Company Limited (SZ:000767) (Houma, Shanxi). Early in 2010, the 600-MW addition received approval from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). Construction of the project kicked off in October 2010. However, due to financial reasons, construction of the project was placed on hold in March 2011.

In 2013, Datong Coal Mine Group Company Limited (Datong, Shanxi) took control of Zhangze Electric Power from its former primary shareholder, China Power Investment Corporation (Beijing). Construction of the project resumed in September 2013.

According to the latest schedule, both units of the project will begin operations later this year. Upon completion, the project will be able to supply heat to an area of 12 million square meters and replace the two existing 50-MW units, as well as other small boilers scattered in its service area.
