As one of the key energy construction projects included in the National Eleventh Five-year Plan, Guangdong Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant adopted CPR1000, the Chinese proprietary brand for the pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology, and its improved technology. It will continuously set up 6 sets of mega kilowatt nuclear power units, so it is the Chinese nuclear power project with the greatest quantity of generation units and the largest scale at present, by one-time approval in China, and also an important symbol for large-scale, serialized, and standardized development of China's nuclear power. For such six sets of power units, their localization rate of key equipments exceeds 85% and average localization rate reaches 83%. Construction of Yangjiang Nuclear Power played a positive role for energy conservation and emissions reduction, improving the ecological environment and boosting the local economy. After completion of six sets of generation units, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant achieved the annual generation capacity of 48 billion kWh. Compared with coal power plants with the same size, it is equivalent to reduce standard coal's consumption of 15,600,000 tons, carbon dioxide emissions of 38,280,000 million tons, sulfur dioxide emissions of 370,000 tons, and nitrogen oxide emissions of 240,000 tons, or equivalent to afforest 102,000 hectares. TBEA provided all 20 sets of 400MVA 500kV transformers and other core power transmission and transformation equipments for #1-6 generation units of Guangdong Yangjiang Nuclear Power Plant
