The plant will use wood pellets as its main fuel source and is designed to be a high-efficiency, dedicated biomass combustion power plant that utilizes a reheating system. In this system, the steam that expands inside a steam turbine is re-sent into the boiler. By re-heating and re-sending the surplus steam into the steam turbine, high-efficiency power generation is achieved.

Once complete, the plant will contribute to renewable energy development.

The plant utilizes SHI Group's "Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler technology". SHI's CFB boilers are capable of burning a wide range of fuels and demonstrate particular superiority in the biomass power generation field, commanding a high share of the market. This track record was a key factor in the securing of this order.

Through the stable combustion of biomass fuels and low-rank fuels, SHI will contribute to reductions in customers' power generation costs and provide sustainable energy solutions.

It is scheduled to begin operation in June of 2021.
