The Al Dhafra project marks not only another
important milestone in utility scale
generation in Abu Dhabi, it will set a new
record in single plant generation capacity
and competitive tariff. Along with our other
business pipelines executed globally,
Jinko Power continues to deploy its commitment
of supplying renewable energy for
the great benefit of consumers, off-takers,

EDF: Hinkley Point C nuclear
power project achieves latest
major milestone on schedule
• Completion of second 49,000 tonne
reactor base helped by productivity
gains from replication strategy
• New Coronavirus safety measures have
enabled work to continue
• New pictures and video shows progress
on site as all project goals continue to be
met
• Hinkley Point C has beaten targets for
delivering benefits to South-West region
(edf) Workers building the Hinkley Point C
nuclear power station have completed the
49,000-tonne base for the station’s second
reactor on schedule – meeting a target date
set more than four years ago.
The power station in Somerset will produce
reliable low carbon electricity and –
alongside renewable power – will help Britain
move to a future without polluting fossil
fuels.
This major milestone in nuclear construction
was completed by teams who have had
to adapt to new Coronavirus working conditions.
Their achievement, known as “J-zero”,
comes less than a year after the completion
of the first reactor’s base in June 2019.
It is the second major goal in 2020 and the
successful completion of both follows the
achievement of all the project goals in 2019.
The date for achieving J-zero on Unit 2 was
set more than four years, before the final
investment decision was taken.
Completion of the second reactor base
also benefited from experience gained on
the first identical unit – which has
led to significant increases in productivity
through steps such as
increased use of prefabrication.
This will benefit the proposed follow-on
project at Sizewell C in
Suffolk.
Construction during the current Coronavirus
crisis was able to continue after the
project took a wide range of steps to ensure
the safety of workers and the community.
This included reducing numbers on site to
enable social distancing and concentrating
on the most critical areas of construction.
Many health measures remain in force to
prevent the spread of infection. Where social
distancing is not possible, workers
have been using extra protective equipment.
Work on the first reactor is also moving
ahead and new pictures show the rapid
progress made since its own “J-zero” 12
months ago.
The project has also been able to use its
resources to support the local community
and NHS during the crisis. Further information
on the measures taken at Hinkley
Pont C during the Coronavirus crisis can be
found here. New figures issued last week
also show that Hinkley Point C beat its ambition
to spend £1.5bn with regional businesses
five years ahead of target.
Hinkley Point C Managing Director Stuart
Crooks said: “I want to thank workers and
our union partners for their extraordinary
efforts to make safe working possible during
the pandemic. They have adapted to
major changes in everyday behaviours and
working practices which would have been
unimaginable a few months ago. The commitment
of our specialist suppliers across
the UK and in Europe has also been instrumental
in helping us safely achieve this major
milestone. And we must never forget
the duty of care we owe to our community,
whose on-going support is vital to the success
of our Project.
“Hinkley Point C has a strong culture of
learning and innovation which is leading to
improved productivity as we get ahead
building our second identical reactor. This
experience is a great basis for further identical
reactor s at Sizewell C in Suffolk.”

enercity: Grünes Licht für
Fernwärme aus Klärschlamm in
Hannover
(enercity) enercity hat die Baugenehmigung
für neue Klärschlammverwertungsanlage.
erhalten Die Anlage erzeugt umweltfreundliche
Wärme für bis zu 15.000
Menschen. enercity-Chefin Zapreva spricht
von einem „Meilenstein auf dem Weg zu
mehr Klimaschutz“. Der Energiedienstleister
will bis 2030 mindestens die Hälfte der
Fernwärme erneuerbar liefern.
Dank neuer Klärschlammverwertungsanlage
speist enercity ab Ende 2022 noch
mehr Wärme aus erneuerbaren Energiequellen
ins Fernwärmenetz ein. Nun hat
enercity auch genehmigungsrechtlich
grünes Licht für die Errichtung der Anlage
in Hannovers Stadtteil Lahe erhalten. „Wir
können jetzt voll durchstarten und allein
mit diesem Projekt 15.000 Menschen in
Hannover mit klimafreundlicher Wärme
versorgen“, sagt enercity-Chefin Dr. Susanna
Zapreva. „Dass wir auch hannoverschen
Klärschlamm verwerten werden, freut uns
besonders: Unsere Anlage löst ein ökologisches
Problem und stärkt gleichzeitig die
regionale Kreislaufwirtschaft.“ Insgesamt
investiert enercity über 60 Millionen Euro
in das Vorhaben.
Genehmigung weiterer Meilenstein nach
Zuschlag für hannoverschen Klärschlamm
Die nun erteilte Baugenehmigung ist ein
weiterer wichtiger Meilenstein für das Projekt,
nachdem im Mai die Landeshauptstadt
Hannover enercity den Auftrag zur
Verwertung von jährlich 56.000 t entwässertem
Klärschlamm über die nächsten 25
Jahre erteilt hat. Insgesamt kann die Anlage
rund 130.000 t Klärschlamm pro Jahr
verarbeiten. „Auch für Klärschlamm von
weiteren Kommunen aus der Region Hannover
gibt es noch freie Kapazitäten“, betont
Zapreva. Klärschlamm darf künftig
nicht mehr als Dünger auf landwirtschaftliche
Flächen ausgebracht werden, um Böden
und Grundwasser zu schonen. Daher
müssen sich Städte und Kommunen um
eine umweltverträgliche Verwertung ihres
Klärschlamms kümmern.
