Connection of Facilities

Shandong has carried out important cooperation in infrastructure industries including power engineering, transportation, petrochemicals, and housing construction. Ruyi Group and Huaneng Group jointly invested 1.8 billion dollars for a 2×660MW coal-fired power plant project in Sahiwal, Pakistan. It has become the fastest-built efficient clean coal-fired power plant with the highest installed capacity and leading technology utilizing energy-saving and environmentally-friendly combustion in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. The coal power station was hailed by the Pakistani government as "a miracle in Pakistan's power construction history." The Oman-surh independent power station project contracted by Shandong Electric Power Construction No 3 Engineering Company has a contract value of 610 million dollars. The Bangladesh Dhaka Airport Expressway project, jointly constructed by Shandong Foreign Economics Group and China Hydropower International, is the first urban expressway planned by the Bangladesh government to improve traffic conditions in Dhaka. It is also one of the most prioritized infrastructure projects developed by the Bangladesh government.
