OREANDA-NEWS. July 01, 2014. CLP Holdings celebrated the construction commencement of Fangchenggang (FCG) Power Station Phase II in the presence of more than 100 distinguished guests in the Fangchenggang City of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

This represents a key milestone in the history of the power station which is the first CLP majority-owned, green-field project with operational control in the Mainland.

As one of the most significant investments of CLP in the Mainland, FCG Power Station demonstrates the company’s commitment in contributing to the economic development of Guangxi and the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.

Since 2008, the two 630 MW supercritical coal-fired generation units of Phase I have generated 39. 8 billion kWh of electricity, meeting 6% of Guangxi’s total electricity demand.

Besides employing supercritical technology to improve efficiency, flue gas desulphurisation and selective catalytic reduction systems are also installed at Phase I to minimise the environmental impact from the use of coal. With the largest dedicated coal shipment terminal in the region, the power station has secured a long-term coal supply to Guangxi from Indonesia, opening up another channel for primary fuel source for the autonomous region.
