June 2 — China Nuclear Power Investment Holdings, a CNNC subsidiary, reported Xudabao nuclear power Unit 3 has completed hot-state performance testing, clearing the way for nuclear fuel loading and subsequent grid connection. The Xudabao project plans six 1,000 MW-class PWR units built in phases, with total installed capacity above 7.6 GW and total investment of 140 bln yuan. At full build-out the project is expected to supply about 54 bln kWh annually, save roughly 19.2 mln tonnes of standard c

At full build-out the project is expected to supply about 54 bln kWh annually, save roughly 19.2 mln tonnes of standard coal and reduce CO2 emissions by about 56.7 mln tonnes, supporting Liaoning’s development of an integrated wind-solar-thermal-nuclear-storage energy base.
