A significant energy project in Serbia, in which China Power Construction has participated, has reached a major milestone. The Kostolac-B Power Station's Phase II Project's B3 unit has successfully completed the 168+96 hours reliability test, officially commencing its operation.
This project is the largest energy project in Serbia. It is a key cooperation in the energy field between China and Serbia. The construction of this 350-megawatt supercritical coal-fired unit and its complete set of auxiliary systems has filled a gap in the energy cooperation between the two countries.
The project's successful operation is set to have a profound impact on Serbia. It will greatly enhance the country's energy security and supply, providing a stable power source for local industrial development and people's livelihood improvement. It is expected to have an annual power generation capacity of up to 2.5 billion kilowatt-hours, and the total installed capacity will account for more than 16% of Serbia's national total installed capacity. This will effectively alleviate the power shortage situation in Serbia and meet the urgent electricity demand in winter, reducing the electricity costs for the people.
During the construction process, the project team overcame various challenges and completed the project to a high standard. This not only showcases the excellent construction capabilities of China Power Construction but also deepens the friendship and cooperation between China and Serbia. As Serbia continues to develop its economy, this project will serve as a strong impetus for the country's high-quality economic and social development.
