On April 5th, according to "Guozi Xiaoxin" (State-Owned Assets News), the Zhejiang Zhoushan gas power generation project, contracted by China Energy Engineering Group, has achieved a significant milestone. The first tank of concrete for the No. 1 waste heat boiler has been successfully poured, marking the official commencement of this project and entering the comprehensive construction phase.

This project has garnered widespread attention as it adopts the 9HA.02 gas turbine, the largest single-unit capacity with the highest efficiency in Asia, making it the first H-class turbine project in Zhejiang Province. This technological breakthrough not only showcases China's innovative capabilities in gas power generation but also heralds significant economic and environmental benefits the project will bring.

Upon completion, the annual electricity generation of a single unit is estimated to reach 2.527 billion kilowatt-hours, with two units totaling a staggering 5.054 billion kilowatt-hours annually. Simultaneously, the annual gas consumption of a single unit is projected at 409.8 million cubic meters, and for two units, it will reach 819.6 million cubic meters annually. This high-efficiency energy conversion rate will effectively promote the stability and reliability of local power supply.

Furthermore, the project is equipped with the capability to blend hydrogen during peak electricity demand periods, allowing for flexible adjustment of green hydrogen production capacity and effectively enhancing the integration capability of new energy sources. This feature will greatly satisfy the balance requirements of the Zhoushan power grid and provide critical support for establishing Zhoushan as an integrated demonstration project for "wind, solar, gas, and hydrogen" utilization.

The construction of this project holds significant importance in serving the development of Zhoushan International Energy Island, promoting the establishment of a new type of power system dominated by new energy sources in Zhoushan. It will not only facilitate the high-quality development of the local economy but also accumulate valuable experience for China's development in the field of new energy. s_e98695fe8b074d40b87c19307f8a8553.jpg
