BEIJING, CHINA — August 12, 2025:
As the global push for cleaner, more sustainable energy intensifies, Power Construction Corporation of China (Power China) is leading the charge in Europe and Central Asia, spearheading a series of groundbreaking clean energy initiatives. With a focus on solar, hydropower, and green hydrogen, the company is driving the transition to low-carbon energy solutions in regions grappling with climate-induced challenges such as droughts and extreme heat.
One of Power China’s flagship projects is the Arreaz photovoltaic power plant in San Roque, Cádiz, Spain. In May, the company entered into a general procurement agreement with Spain's Viroque Energy to develop the plant, which will have an installed capacity of 44 megawatts. Upon completion, this plant is expected to generate approximately 95,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually, significantly advancing Spain’s low-carbon energy transition.
Power China has also made strides in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it has completed the Ulog Hydropower Plant. With an installed capacity of 35.14 megawatts, the hydropower plant is designed to meet both power generation and green water supply needs. Featuring a double-curved arch concrete dam, an ecological flow system, and a water diversion tunnel, the project promises to enhance the reliability of the local electricity supply while contributing to the overall ecological improvement of the region.
In Central Asia, Power China has introduced the region's first industrial-scale green hydrogen project in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This innovative project represents Power China's first international foray into green hydrogen, a crucial component of Uzbekistan’s Green Energy Strategy. Located at the MAXAM Chemical Plant, the hydrogen facility uses ALK electrolysis technology and is expected to produce 3,150 tons of green hydrogen annually, helping to cut down on 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year compared to traditional gray hydrogen production methods.
Mohammad Abunayyan, President of ACWA Power, praised the success of the project, highlighting its potential as a model for future international collaboration in the clean energy sector. This green hydrogen initiative is a vital step forward in advancing a more sustainable, low-carbon energy future in both Central Asia and beyond.
By driving these large-scale green energy projects across diverse regions, Power China is not only contributing to the global energy transition but also positioning itself as a leader in addressing the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. The company’s ongoing commitment to clean energy and sustainability is setting a new standard for the industry, paving the way for a greener and more resilient global energy landscape.
