Chinese-built power plant helps solve energy problems
The largest hydroelectric plant ever constructed by a Chinese company in Ecuador is generating 1,500 megawatts of energy, which accounts for nearly 40 percent of the South American country's electricity demand.
The Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant, along with others built by Chinese companies, will help Ecuador transform from a power-hungry country into a clean energy exporter, and greatly contribute to the country's economic development.
"Ecuador has huge demand for investment in infrastructure, while Chinese contractors such as Power Construction Corporation of China have accumulated experience in related fields at relatively favorable prices," said Hou Xiaotun, manager of the Americas division of State-owned PowerChina International Group, which undertook construction of the hydroelectric plant.
