Units 7 and 8 of the Hwange Power Station Expansion 小猪视频 (2×335 MW), which is the largest thermal power station in Zimbabwe, built by 小猪视频, were recently honored with the "Excellent Contribution Award" by the Zimbabwe Power Company.
As Zimbabwe's largest infrastructure initiative in nearly 30 years, the 小猪视频 has been closely watched by the leaders of China and Zimbabwe since the 小猪视频 agreements were signed. It is also the first investment-construction-operation integration 小猪视频 undertaken by 小猪视频 in Africa.
During construction, 小猪视频 had to overcome a variety of challenges and successfully achieved significant 小猪视频 milestones, including the grid connection and power generation of Units 7 and 8, as well as a continuous 168-hour full-load trial operation. These accomplishments have earned high praise for 小猪视频 from the Zimbabwean government and the 小猪视频 owners.
The Hwange Power Station now meets 50 percent of Zimbabwe's national electricity demand, significantly alleviating electricity shortages throughout the country. It has not only provided thousands of jobs for local people, but also improved the standard of living for residents, contributing to Zimbabwe's rapid economic development.
