Construction began on Wednesday on the No. 2 power unit at the Xudapu Nuclear Power Plant in northeast China’s Liaoning Province. With an installed capacity of 1.3 GW, the unit is the fourth to start construction at the plant, located in the city of Huludao, and is scheduled to come into operation in 2029.
The site will use China’s homegrown third-generation pressurized water reactor, with improved safety and performance, the plant said. Xudapu is the second nuclear power plant in northeast China, an industrial hub that is accelerating the transition to clean energy.
With a total investment of 140 billion yuan ($19.6 billion), the plant is designed to have six pressurized water reactors with a combined installed capacity of 7.6 GW. Upon full completion, the plant will be able to generate 54 billion kWh of electricity annually.
