China Guangdong Huizhou CCGT project

closed

The objective of the Huizhou Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Thermal Power Project of China is to encourage the development of clean power generation options in China by purchasing Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) resulting from the generation of electricity by a gas-fired Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant. The project was approved as a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of the People's Republic of China on December 13, 2006 - after around four years of review and preparation. The Huizhou Gas-fired CCGT Power Plant consists of three combined cycle units. At International Standards Organization (ISO) conditions, the total installed capacity is 1,170 MW (3 x 390 MW). The expected annual electricity output is 3,674 GWh. The electricity generated by the plant is delivered to the Southern China Power Grid (SCPG) which relies mostly on coal-fired power plants. The natural gas is supplied from a re-gasification terminal located near Shenzhen which receives the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from Australia, under a take-or-pay agreement with the Guangdong Dapeng LNG Co. Ltd.
