On December 15, the pile foundation project of the Huaneng Cogeneration Project in the Lingang Industrial Zone of Guanyun County, Jiangsu Province, held a commencement ceremony, marking the project's official entry into the large-scale on-site construction stage.

The Huaneng Cogeneration Project, together with the Sembcorp (Lianyungang) Water, Everbright Solid Waste Landfill, and Everbright Solid Waste Incineration projects, is among the key environmental infrastructure projects promoted in recent years in the Lingang Industrial Zone of Guanyun County. The project is invested by Huaneng Power International, Inc. and prepared for construction by Huaneng Huaiyin Power Plant, with a dynamic total investment of about 1.29 billion yuan. It plans to build three 220 t/h high-temperature and high-pressure coal-fired boilers and two 25 MW back-pressure turbine generator units. It adopts the domestically highest-parameter 25 MW-class back-pressure units, with an overall thermal efficiency of up to 90.8%. After completion, the project will achieve centralized heating in the Lingang Industrial Zone of Guanyun County, replacing nearly 100 coal-fired steam boilers, alleviating the environmental pressure on the park, and promoting sustainable development.
