It has a designed capacity of 100 MW / 200 MWh, and include...

"It's on! It's on! It's different from TV." On May 6 local time, at Petrus Ganeb Secondary School in Erongo Region, Namibia, eighth-grade students entered a real computer classroom for the very first time. The moment the computer screens lit up, a hush of astonished murmurs swept through the room.On that day, Swakop Uranium, a subsidiary of CGN Uranium Resources, formally donated 20 computers, one printer, and a full set of basic network equipment to the secondary school through the Swakop Uranium Foundation, building a bridge to the digital world for the children through concrete action. Sane...

At 9:26 Beijing time on May 6, the first ignition of the gas turbine — a key milestone for the Daesan Phase II project of CGN Energy International's Korean subsidiary — was successfully completed, marking the project's official transition from the cold commissioning phase to the hot commissioning phase.The Korean Daesan Phase II project is the first large-scale gas-fired power generation project of CGN Energy International to adopt an autonomous project management model. Its design management, procurement, construction, and commissioning are all independently carried out by its Korean subsid...

On May 4, the generator rotor of the first unit of CGN's Tuanfeng Weijiachong Pumped Storage Project — the first pumped storage project independently developed and constructed by CGN — was successfully hoisted, laying a solid foundation for the first unit to enter the final assembly sprint phase.The generator rotor of this project has an outer diameter of 5.82 meters and a body height of 2.33 meters. After on-site assembly, the overall cylindricity was strictly controlled to within 0.22 mm, with eccentricity kept below 0.10 mm. The total weight, including the lifting tooling, reached 290 ton...

At 11:45 on May 3, 2026, the first core fuel loading for Unit 2 of CGN's Guangdong Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant (hereinafter referred to as "Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant") was successfully completed.As the first Hualong One nuclear power construction base in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and CGN's flagship project for the batch construction and operation of Hualong One units, Taipingling Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 successfully completed its 168-hour trial operation on April 19, 2026, and officially achieved commercial operation status. The completion of first fuel loadin...

At 8:28 on April 28, 2026, the hot functional test (commonly referred to as the "hot test") for Unit 2 of CGN's Zhejiang San'ao Nuclear Power Project was successfully completed.The hot test is a core milestone before fuel loading for a nuclear power unit. Its purpose is to execute a series of comprehensive commissioning tests and periodic operational tests — covering the entire pressure and temperature range from the reactor pressure vessel being closed and bolted to the hot shutdown condition — prior to core fuel loading, thereby verifying the functionality and response of the nuclear steam...

At 11:18 on April 29, 2026, with the successful completion of the 168-hour trial operation test, Unit 1 of CGN's Zhejiang San'ao Nuclear Power Project — the first Hualong One nuclear power unit in the Yangtze River Delta region and China's first nuclear power project with private sector capital participation — officially achieved commercial operation status. With the commissioning of this unit, CGN now has 30 nuclear power units in operation, with a total installed capacity of 34,248 MWe.Zhang Zhenfeng, Member of the Standing Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Pa...

On April 28, the nuclear island installation work for Unit 5 of CGN's Ningde Nuclear Power Project officially commenced full-scale construction, marking a smooth transition of the unit from the civil construction phase to the critical phase of core equipment installation. This represents another solid step forward in the large-scale deployment of the Hualong One, China's independent third-generation nuclear power technology.The nuclear island is the core facility of a nuclear power plant, housing critical equipment such as the reactor and the primary circuit systems. The quality of its install...

At 19:58 on April 27, 2026, the pressure in the primary circuit of Unit 5 of CGN's Guangdong Lufeng Nuclear Power Project was reduced to atmospheric pressure, marking the successful completion of the cold functional test for Lufeng Nuclear Power Unit 5. This achievement lays a solid foundation for subsequent hot testing, fuel loading, and commercial operation of the unit.At 18:01 on April 26, under the joint observation of the South China Nuclear and Radiation Oversight Station of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Lufeng Nuclear Power Project production and engineering team, Unit...
