POWERCHINA Nuclear Engineering Company is chiefly responsible for installation and commissioning under the BOP mode.
Since the construction of the project, POWERCHINA Nuclear Engineering Company has been committed to building a model project in accordance with international standards and the concept of “copy of excellent projects in foreign countries”. It has endeavored to make continuous improvements in engineering management, quality management, and safe and environmentally-friendly construction, with a view to fulfilling the various tasks and objectives by virtue of its stellar technological level and sound contractual capacity. This has laid a solid foundation for the stable operation of generator units and its transfer for commercial operation. The official delivery of Manjung Power Plant Project in April 2015 marked the first million-kilowatt unit in Southeast Asia put into commercial operation on schedule and becoming the coal-fired unit with highest thermal efficiency in Malaysia and even Southeast Asia as a whole, fully demonstrating the good image and powerful strength of POWERCHINA.
