On June 15,2026, Shanghai Shenghua Cable Technology Group successfully secured the procurement contract for control cables for the Phase II project of Guoneng Harbin Thermal Power Plant's 2×660 MW cogeneration facility, marking a pivotal breakthrough for the group in the market for supporting cables for large-scale clean thermal power plants and urban heat supply systems, and further strengthening its comprehensive product and service portfolio across all energy and power applications.
Project Overview: The Northeastern Benchmark Civil Energy Project
The Guoneng Harbin Thermal Power Phase II Project is located in Hanan Industrial New City, Pingfang District, Harbin. It represents a key investment by the National Energy Group and a core project under Heilongjiang Province's 14th Five-Year Plan for power development, as well as one of China's first demonstration projects exemplifying integrated coal-power operations with both conventional coal-fired power and renewable energy. With a total investment exceeding 6.8 billion yuan, the project includes two 660 MW ultra-supercritical, high-efficiency clean power units, complemented by comprehensive environmental protection systems for desulfurization and denitrification, along with a large-scale urban heating network. Upon completion, it will provide heating coverage for 35.35 million square meters across Harbin's four main urban districts, serving both residential winter heating needs and industrial steam requirements. The two units are scheduled to become operational in August and October 2026 respectively, establishing this project as a leading urban thermal power source facility of significant scale in Northeast China.
The control cables procured through this tender serve as the core "neural infrastructure" of power plant automation systems, ensuring stable transmission of control commands and monitoring signals between unit DCS control systems, sensors, relay protection devices, and valve actuators. These cables meet stringent requirements for flame resistance, high-temperature tolerance, electromagnetic interference immunity, and long-term operational stability, making them essential auxiliary components for ensuring safe, stable, and intelligent operation of power plant units.
With exceptional technical capabilities, it has earned high recognition from the national energy sector.
This tender brought together leading domestic cable manufacturers for competition, with evaluations conducted through rigorous multi-dimensional assessments covering product technical specifications, past performance in thermal power projects, smart manufacturing capabilities, end-to-end service delivery, and R&D capacity for flame-retardant specialty cables. Our company secured the bid thanks to three core competitive advantages:
1.Possesses mature technical expertise in specialized cables for thermal power generation.The group has developed proprietary flame-retardant control cables specifically designed for power plants, engineered to withstand harsh operating conditions characterized by high temperatures, intense electromagnetic fields, and severe oil contamination. Their compact conductor structure minimizes line losses, while the multi-layer shielding effectively prevents signal interference, ensuring reliable performance for long-term continuous operation of large ultra-supercritical power units.
2.Possesses a comprehensive delivery system for large-scale energy projects.Seven major production bases across the country work together to supply goods, while the newly established Harbin production base in Northeast China enables localized warehousing and rapid delivery, significantly shortening the project's supply cycle.
3.Possesses extensive implementation experience with projects under China Energy Group, State Grid, and large-scale thermal power plants.We have previously supplied cables in bulk to various projects including combined heat and power plants, thermal power plant expansions, and new energy power stations. Our products hold comprehensive certifications from CCC, TUV, and KEMA, and we possess extensive experience in providing integrated supply solutions for thermal power projects.
Deeply focus on the thermal power sector and enhance the comprehensive layout of the energy industry.
This successful bid marks a significant milestone for Shanghai Shenghua Cable in expanding its presence in the traditional clean thermal power equipment supply market. As China's coal-fired power sector accelerates its transition toward high efficiency, low carbon emissions, and integrated heat and power systems, large-scale combined heat and power units have become fundamental to regional energy security, driving continuous growth in demand for specialized cable solutions. Through this collaboration, the group has formally established deep integration into the National Energy Group's thermal power procurement supply chain, creating a long-term, stable partnership.
In recent years, Shenghua Cable has pursued a dual-track development strategy encompassing new energy, traditional thermal power, and grid infrastructure: its photovoltaic and energy storage high-voltage cables have consistently secured orders for large-scale desert-based projects, while its multi-regional centralized procurement programs with State Grid have been successfully implemented; simultaneously, the company has intensified R&D and production of specialized cables for thermal power and cogeneration applications, expanded capacity for mineral-insulated, flame-retardant shielded, and high-temperature-resistant control cables, achieving comprehensive cable coverage across all energy sectors including wind power, photovoltaics, energy storage, thermal power, and grid systems.
Next, our company will strictly adhere to the project timeline requirements to ensure comprehensive support throughout the entire cable production, testing, and batch delivery process, delivering high-quality products that facilitate the smooth commissioning of the Guoneng Harbin Thermal Power Phase II Project. Furthermore, leveraging this project as an opportunity, we will continue to strengthen our presence in the thermal power and urban heating energy markets across Northeast China, utilizing our local production base in Harbin to serve various energy infrastructure projects in northern regions, thereby contributing high-quality cables to the development of the national new-type power system and ensuring reliable winter energy supply in northern China.
