The State Council of China approved the construction of two 1200 MWe Hualong One reactors as Phase I of the Jinqimen plant on December 29 last year. Units 1 and 2 of the plant underwent a comprehensive safety assessment review and are part of the national plan.
CNNC Zhejiang Energy Co Ltd, a subsidiary of CNNC, will handle project investment, construction, and operations management. The Jinqimen plant will eventually have six Hualong One units, with a total installed capacity of about 7.2 GWe and an annual grid-connected electricity of approximately 55 TWh.
