China Shenhua Energy Company Limited announced that the No. 2 power generation unit of the new construction project with a capacity of 2x1,000MW of China Energy Group Yueyang Power Generation Co. Ltd., a subsidiary in which the Company holds 95% equity interests, has successfully passed the consecutive 168-hour full-load trial operation and has been officially put into commercial operation.

Up to now, all of the two power generation units of the Yueyang Project have been completed and put into operation. The Yueyang Project is located in Dongshan Town, Huarong County, Yueyang City, Hunan Province. Upon the project being fully put into operation, it will provide a guarantee to secure energy supply for Yueyang City and the northern area of Hunan Province and improve the regional coordination and operation system of "wind power, solar power, hydro power and thermal power as well as energy storage." The No.

1 power generation unit of the Phase I new construction project with a capacityof 2x1,000MW the Company holds 51% equity interests (the "Yueyang Project"), has successfully passed the consecutive 168 -hour full-load trial operation. Qingyuan Phase I is located in Shakou Town, Yingde City, Qingyuan City, Guangdong Province, and is planned to build a 2x1,000MW domestic ultra-supercritical secondary reheating coal-fired power generation unit. The project applies 11 domestic pioneering technologies, such as the permanent magnetic roller coal conveyor belt, the fully automatic oxidized air energy-saving regulation system and the unmanned intelligent desulfurization system, with a designed coal consumption for power supply of 263.38 g/kWh and emissions of dust, sulfur and nitrogen meeting the ultra-low emission standards.

The project applies in-depth peak-shaving technology, and the flexibility of the power generation unit is better than that of similar units. Among which, No. 2 power generation unit the Qingyuan Phase I is expected to be put into the 168-hour trial operation in the near future.

Upon the two power generation units of Qingyuan Phase I being fully put into operation, It is estimated that the power generation capacity will be approximately 10 billion kWh per year, which will effectively alleviate the pressure on the power supply in Guangdong Province, provide protection for the energy security of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and stimulate the social and economic development of the northern part of Guangdong Province.
