---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--Zhejiang Electric Power Design Institute (ZEPDI) (Hangzhou, Zhejiang), a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC) (Beijing), signed the engineering consultancy contract with Shenhua Guohua International Engineering Company Limited (Beijing) for the Shenhua Guohua (Beijing) Gas-Fired Cogeneration Project on February 18, 2013, according to an announcement from the CEEC on February 23, 2013.

According to the contract, ZEPDI will be responsible for the full process design and engineering consulting services for the project, from the preparation of preliminary engineering, to detailed engineering, to final completion drawings.

The Shenhua Guohua Gas-Fired Cogeneration Project occupies a total area of about 9 hectares in the planned cyclic economic and industrial park in Chaoyang District, Beijing City. The project, together with Beijing Energy Group Company Limited (Jingneng) (Beijing), will be formed into the proposed Northeast Thermoelectricity Center. Based on the principles of "one center, united planning and two power plants," Shenhua Group Company Limited (Beijing) and Beijng Energy Group Company Limited (Beijing) each will be responsible for the construction and operation of two F-class, gas-fired cogeneration units for combined heat and power services in the center.

The project plans to build a new set of F-class gas and steam combined-cycle units in "2+1" mode, namely to have two M701F gas-fired combustion turbines made by Dongfang Electric Corporation (Chengdu, Sichuan), plus one steam turbine generator with a power generation capacity of about 900 megawatts (MW) and a total heat supply capacity of 596 MW. Total investment in the project will be about $610 million. Upon completion, the total installed capacity of the center will be expanded to 1.8 million kilowatts, a heat supply capacity of 1,254 megawatts, and a total heating area of about 25 million square meters. According to the schedule, both units of the project will begin operations in the third quarter of 2014.
