"The successful grid connection of Unit 2 means that another Hualong One unit is now capable of supplying clean electricity to the Greater Bay Area, following the official commercial operation of Unit 1 in April this year. Once Unit 2 enters commercial operation, it is expected to generate over 9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which is enough to meet the annual production and living needs of nearly one million people."

Unit 2 of the Taipingling nuclear power project in Huizhou City, south China's Guangdong Province, was connected to the grid for electricity generation on Saturday.
Taipingling is the first nuclear power project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to adopt Hualong One, a domestically developed third-generation nuclear power technology.
Unit 2 will undergo further performance verification as planned, and is expected to officially commence commercial operation in the second half of 2026.
"The successful grid connection of Unit 2 means that another Hualong One unit is now capable of supplying clean electricity to the Greater Bay Area, following the official commercial operation of Unit 1 in April this year. Once Unit 2 enters commercial operation, it is expected to generate over 9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, which is enough to meet the annual production and living needs of nearly one million people," said Zhang Guoqiang, chairman of Huizhou Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China General Nuclear Power Corporation.
Construction of Unit 2 began on October 15, 2020, with a range of digital and intelligent technologies applied throughout the process, leading to a number of technological breakthroughs.
The Taipingling project is planned to house a total of six Hualong One units. Once all six are completed, the plant is expected to generate more than 55 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
