On July 9, Unit 1 of the Guangzhou Baiyun Hengyun Natural Gas Power Generation Project, surveyed and designed by GEDI, officially commenced operations.

The project features two 460MW Class F gas-steam combined-cycle peak-shaving units, alongside high-efficiency flue gas denitrification systems. Once fully completed, the project is expected to generate 3.273 billion kWh of electricity annually, providing a stable supply of green power for both industrial and residential use in central Guangzhou. It will significantly boost the city's medium- and long-term power self-sufficiency, enhance power supply reliability and stability, and alleviate peak-shaving pressure on the Pearl River Delta power grid. Furthermore, it will reduce pollutant emissions and water consumption, promote energy conservation and emission reduction, and actively contribute to accelerating the achievement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.

For this project, GEDI embraced the philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. By extensively applying "de-industrialization" techniques, GEDI achieved a systematic and integrated design for main structures like the main plant, HRSG and cooling tower. This approach has created a novel urban power plant that is visually appealing, highly compact, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly. The plant area features a three-row layout, while the main plant utilizes a one-on-one single-shaft, high-elevation large-platform arrangement for its operating floor. This ensures a seamless technological process and highly efficient land use. For noise reduction, eco-friendly acoustic sandwich panels and specialized noise-mitigating structural boards have been integrated into the exterior facade's load-bearing system, effectively containing noise and minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment. Regarding water conservation, the power plant utilizes reclaimed water as its cooling source, saving approximately 3.5 million tons of conventional freshwater annually. This practice achieves water resource recycling, supports the plant's low-energy and green production, and helps Guangzhou build a low-carbon, efficient urban water circulation system.
