At 9:16am, November 10, local time in Pakistan, 2 No.1 Units of the 660MW coal-fired power plant at Port Qasim, for which the boilers were supplied by HE, were synchronized for power generation successfully 50 days ahead of the time limit required by the party of Pakistan. In this project, the “one-time successes” of eight items were achieved, including boiler water pressure, inverse power transmission, DCS power receiving, steam turbine cover buckling, boiler acid cleaning, ignition and pipe blowing, steam turbine impulse starting and synchronization for power generation. During this process, all parameters were steady and all indexes were good, which all reached the design requirements; all environmental indictors for dedusting and desulfuration were vastly superior to the national standards of Pakistan. HE has made good on its promise by doing well. 

In the first half of the year, two 660MW super-critical coal-fired power plant boilers at Sahiwal, Pakistan, independently designed and manufactured by HE, were successfully put into operation, of which all main parameters reached or were superior to the design values and the running state was good. This project was the first energy project put into operation in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor of “the Belt and Road” Initiative. It only took 22 months to complete this project, 6 months ahead of the original schedule. This speed was praised as the “Sahiwal Speed” and “a miracle in the power construction history of Pakistan” by the government of Pakistan.
