China General Nuclear Power Group (CGN) has officially commenced commercial operations for the second unit of its Taipingling nuclear power project in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province. The operational launch on Monday marks the completion of the first phase of China's primary 'Hualong One' technology-reliant nuclear power plant in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The newly integrated unit employs China's self-developed third-generation 'Hualong One' reactor technology. Over 90 percent of the unit's main equipment is domestically manufactured, delivering a power generation capacity of 1,200 megawatts. General Commander Zhang Guoqiang confirmed that operating both phase-one units at full capacity will yield over 18 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, meeting residential and industrial demands for nearly 2 million people.
Under the master plan, the Taipingling facility will eventually house six 'Hualong One' reactor units. Once fully operational, the plant will produce around 55 billion kilowatt-hours of clean power annually, reducing standard coal usage by 16.52 million tons and cutting carbon dioxide emissions by roughly 58.2 million tons each year.
