No.1 coal-fired generating unit of Zhangye Power Plant Phase I power generation
The first unit of the 2×300 MW coal-fired power generation project at Gansu Zhangye Power Plant, constructed by Gansu Thermal Power Engineering Co., has successfully been connected to the grid for power generation. This marks a significant milestone following the successful 3,000 rpm test on November 2, signaling the start of the trial operation phase for the first unit.
Located in the Hexi Corridor, Zhangye Power Plant is situated near the Rabbit Dam Beach under Heli Mountain, approximately 16 kilometers from Zhangye City in Gansu Province. It is a key energy project during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period, both nationally and at the provincial level. With a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, the plant is being developed in two phases. The Gansu Provincial Electric Power Investment Company and the State Power Investment Corporation jointly invested a total of 5.5 billion yuan, with the first phase consisting of two 300,000 kW units, costing 2.8 billion yuan.
Gansu Thermal Power has made a firm commitment to complete the power generation within the year. Drawing from their experience in projects like the 4×300 MW Pingliang Power Plant, where they won the "Flying Award" and "Luban Award," the company has implemented various initiatives such as the "Success or Failure by Quality Theory," "Heroes in Safety," technological innovation, and "excellent demonstration, sample guide" programs. They also organized activities like young civilized trumpeter campaigns, post training, and excellence competitions, all aimed at creating high-quality projects and building strong brand reputation.
Throughout the construction of the first unit at Zhangye Power Plant, workers worked day and night on the front lines, dedicating themselves fully to the project. In the midst of large-scale construction efforts, the team successfully completed major milestones, including boiler water pressure tests, factory charging, ignition, and grid connection. The project has been praised for its safety, quality, and efficiency, often referred to as "the speed of Shenzhen in Gansu."
It is expected that the first unit will be officially put into operation after completing 168 hours of trial operation this year. Currently, construction on Unit 2 is in full swing. The completion of the first phase is scheduled for 2006, when the plant will generate approximately 3.3 billion kWh annually. Once fully operational, it will not only address the electricity shortage in the Hexi region of Gansu but also integrate with the Hexi 330 kV transmission network, forming a critical channel for power transmission between Xinjiang and Gansu.
