POWERCHINA Accelerates Green Energy Transition in Europe and Central Asia

POWERCHINA Leads in Global Green Energy Transition

In light of rising global climate pressures, Power Construction Corporation of China, known as POWERCHINA, is making significant strides toward enhancing a carbon-neutral energy landscape. The company is actively working on numerous clean energy initiatives across Europe and Central Asia, strategically targeting areas that have been severely affected by extreme weather conditions, such as drought and heat.

Tailored Solutions for Environmental Challenges

POWERCHINA is providing practical solutions to combat climate-related challenges through a diverse portfolio that includes solar, hydropower, and green hydrogen projects. These initiatives are specifically designed to meet the local needs for energy resilience in regions that are experiencing climatic Extremes.

For example, in May 2025, POWERCHINA signed a general contractor agreement with Viroque Energy to develop the Arreaz photovoltaic power plant in San Roque, Cádiz, which will boast an installed capacity of 44 megawatts. This project aims to deliver approximately 95,000 megawatt-hours of clean electricity annually, thereby supporting the local transition to low-carbon energy.

Additionally, the Ulog Hydropower Plant project in Bosnia and Herzegovina was recently completed and has officially commenced operations. Equipped with an installed capacity of 35.14 megawatts, it is designed not only for power generation but also for ecological water supply. The completion of this hydropower facility is expected to enhance the reliability of the local electricity supply while optimizing Bosnia and Herzegovina's energy structure and improving the ecological conditions of the region.

Groundbreaking Green Hydrogen Initiatives

Further east, POWERCHINA has launched Central Asia's first industrial-scale green hydrogen project in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. This initiative is a landmark as it marks both the first international project for POWERCHINA in the green hydrogen sector and a vital component of Uzbekistan's Green Energy Strategy. The facility located at MAXAM Chemical Plant utilizes alkaline electrolysis technology and has a total production capacity of 20 megawatts, capable of generating 3,150 tons of green hydrogen each year. This shift from gray hydrogen production is expected to save around 30,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.

Mohammad Abunayyan, Chairman of ACWA Power, has touted the successful launch of this hydrogen project as a significant milestone for the industry. He emphasized the importance of international collaboration and shared commitment to promoting clean energy. Not only does this project address numerous challenges, but it also provides valuable insights for the global evolution of green hydrogen technologies.

POWERCHINA is dedicated to enhancing its contributions to a sustainable energy future, responding to unprecedented ecological challenges with effective, scalable solutions. The company is committed to driving the global transition to clean energy through practical and innovative projects that emphasize local needs and environmental resilience. As the world confronts increasingly dire climate crises, POWERCHINA's initiatives underline the urgent need for collaborative efforts to secure a sustainable energy landscape for future generations.
