Annual power generation is 48 billion kilowatt-hours. my country’s nuclear power plant with the largest installed capacity in operation has been put into operation: it can also provide heating in winter.

With Unit 6 becoming commercially operational, the total installed capacity of the first and second phases of Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant’s six units exceeds 6.71 million kilowatts, becoming my country’s current operating installed capacity. largest nuclear power plant.

Among them, the first phase of the project adopts CPR1000 "second generation plus" nuclear power technology to build four million-kilowatt units. Construction started in 2007 and was put into operation in 2013. All were completed and put into operation in 2016. Generate electricity.

The second phase of the project is to build two units, No. 5 and No. 6, using ACPR1000 nuclear power technology, which started in 2015. Among them, Unit 5 was put into commercial operation on July 31 last year.

ACPR1000 is a million-kilowatt third-generation nuclear power technology with independent intellectual property rights developed by CGN while promoting the standardization, serialization and large-scale construction of CPR1000 nuclear power technology.

Various technical and economic indicators of this technology have reached the advanced level of international third-generation nuclear power technology, and are safer, more advanced and economical than CPR1000 technology.

It is reported that the annual power generation of the six units of Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Station can reach 48 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for about 20% of the electricity consumption of the entire society in Liaoning Province, which is comparable to coal-fired power plants of the same scale. This is equivalent to reducing standard coal consumption by approximately 14.52 million tons, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 39.93 million tons, and is equivalent to planting 108,000 hectares of forest.

In addition to its power generation function, Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant is also expanding into more usage scenarios and actively promoting nuclear energy heating projects.

On March 9, 2022, Hongyanhe Nuclear Power and SPIC Northeast Electric Power Co., Ltd. signed the "Nuclear Energy Heating Demonstration Project Construction, Operation and Maintenance Cooperation Agreement", the first nuclear energy heating in Northeast my country The project has entered a substantial advancement stage.

On April 6, 2022, the nuclear energy heating project officially started. It is planned to realize heating of the surrounding Hongyanhe Town during the heating period this winter. The heating area is planned and designed in advance to be 242,400 square meters. .

Based on the initial heating area, the project will reduce coal consumption by 12,100 tons per year and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1.40,000 tons, more than 209 tons of smoke, more than 60 tons of sulfur dioxide, and more than 85 tons of nitrogen oxides, with significant environmental benefits.
