On August 31st, the first batch of concrete was poured into the base platform of the No. 16 gas boiler at SPC’s Renovation Project for Thermal Power Units Cleaning and Efficiency Improving, marking the official start of the main construction of the project.

This project is a key energy construction project during the 14th Five Year Plan period in Shanghai, and is a "life project" for SPC to promote green and low-carbon development, digital and intelligent transformation, and high-quality transformation and development. The total investment of the project is about 3.75 billion yuan, with the construction of 4 sets of coal-fired heating units, each with a capacity of 70 MW, and 2 gas boilers, each with a capacity of 260 t/h. It is planned to be completed in December 2026. After the project completed and put into use, the energy efficiency of the unit can be increased from 60% to 87.8%, the annual coal consumption can be reduced by 16.7%, and the total annual carbon emissions can be reduced by 1.1 million tons, reaching the advanced level in the domestic thermal power industry.

Since the start of pile foundation construction on November 18th last year, the project has completed the "four supplies and one leveling" work for a construction site of 100,000 square meters, as well as the pile foundation construction and testing of more than 1,400 piles including the comprehensive building, main factory building, coal powder furnace, gas furnace, substation, chimney, etc.. The next step will be to safely and efficiently promote the civil engineering pouring and installation work of the main project.
