Shanghai Electric Celebrates 27 Years of commitment in Pakistan
SHANGHAI, May 25, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-Anniversary reveals six historical milestone in energy cooperation 
representing the strong business tie between two countries-

Shanghai Electric is now celebrating the 27th anniversary of its entering 
Pakistan markets since 1993. Yesterday was itself a related anniversary, making 
69 years since China established diplomatic relations with Pakistan. Shanghai 
Electric, representing the first batch of Chinese companies entering the 
market, has generated a string of milestone projects in categories that include 
thermal power, nuclear power, and Power Transmission and Distribution under the 
umbrella of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (the "CPEC").  

Thermal power

-Muzaffarnagarh thermal power plant project - The Muzaffarnagarh thermal power 
plant is Shanghai Electric's first overseas EPC project since the Company 
entering Pakistan in 1993, and the project facilitated 320MW steam turbines 
provided by Shanghai Electric started operating in July 1997. 
-Thar Integrated Coal Mine-Power Project - Shanghai Electric signed the EPC 
contract for a block coal-fired power station project in Thar Coalfield, 
Pakistan, in December 2016. In April 2019 Shanghai Electric signed another EPC 
contract for Thar Block-1 Integrated Coal Mine-Power Project with an installed 
capacity of 2 x 660MW and a coalmine with an annual coal production capacity of 
7.8 million tons. The project is capable of powering 4 million households in 
Pakistan with 1320 megawatts of indigenous, affordable and reliable 
electricity. Shanghai electric is also applying ultra-supercritical technology, 
which can run at higher net efficiency than the annual average net efficiency 
required by Pakistani government. Additionally, the plants will operate with a 
high Acid Gas removal rate, with low sulfur dioxide emissions to reduce 
environmental impact when it begins to generate electricity in 2022. 
-Sahiwal 2 x 660MW thermal power plant project - Shanghai Electric was 
commissioned to provide steam turbines, generators and auxiliary equipment for 
Sahiwal 2 x 660MW coal fired power station, the contract for which was signed 
in June 2015. Shanghai electric reduced the production time to 12 months by 
leveraging the new mode of the steam turbine designed with supercritical 
cylinder, with the generator stator iron center, coil and shaft tile 
optimization further improving the efficiency of the Plant.

Nuclear Power 

-Chashma nuclear power plant project - The nuclear power plant, which features 
a 300,000 kW pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, is the first export 
civil nuclear power project of China's own design and construction. Shanghai 
Electric provided the major components of the nuclear island and the 
conventional island in the hope of alleviating the local power shortage problem 
and provided clean, efficient and safe electricity to expedite Pakistan's path 
to the energy self-sufficiency. 
-Karachi Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 and Unit 3 (K2, K3) - The nuclear 
powerplant marked another major step forward in the field of energy cooperation 
between China and Pakistan as the first overseas "Hualong No.1" nuclear reactor 
in Karachi, with the project scheduled to be finished by the end of 2020. 
Shanghai Electric provided the main equipment for the conventional island and 
nuclear island of the Karachi nuclear power plant. The project is poised to 
ease the local power shortage situation. 

Power Grid Transmission and Distribution 

-TP1000 Karachi Urban Power Grid Transformation Project - Karachi's urban power 
grid transformation project is one of the integrated urban power grid 
construction projects in Pakistan designed to improve the reliability and 
stability of Karachi's power transmission infrastructure. Shanghai Electric is 
responsible for all the major steps from conducting survey, power transmission 
and distribution circuit design, to the power plant commissioning, in addition 
to supplying substation equipment and cable accessories. The Company has always 
been an active force in creating a learning-oriented community in the region, 
and the local employees of Shanghai Electric have been offered technical 
training and shared with project management experience by Chinese employees, 
which effectively generated a longer-term impact on Pakistan's power industry.
