The No 1 unit of the Kidurong Combine Cycle Power Plant project in Malaysia was successfully connected to the power grid for the first time on July 30.
The project was constructed by Sinohydro Bureau 8 Co, a subsidiary of POWERCHINA.
It is the second combined-cycle power station built by Sinohydro Bureau 8 Co in Malaysia. The project is located in Kidurong Industrial Park, Bintulu city, in Malaysia's Sarawak State.
The original contract was to upgrade the existing power plant into a combined-cycle power plant with a net output of 413 megawatts. The facility's main equipment includes a gas turbine generator set, a waste heat boiler and a steam turbine generator set.

During the construction of the No 1 unit, Sinohydro Bureau 8 Co set four national records in Malaysia.
At the end of 2017, as a result of the outstanding performance of Sinohydro Bureau 8 Co during the construction process, the owner and the company signed a supplementary agreement for the expansion of the project's No 2 unit.
The new contract includes a combined-cycle power plant with a net output of 826 megawatts that uses natural gas for power generation, as well as two sets of F-class gas turbines, steam turbines and waste heat boilers.
Since the resumption of work and production at the end of June this year, project management has overcome several challenges – including a shortage of construction workers and local epidemic prevention and control measures – to ensure the normal operation of work units and equipment.
