China's State-owned enterprises have made significant contributions to infrastructure development in countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative or BRI, greatly improving local living standards.
One such enterprise is the Shandong Electrical Engineering and Equipment Group, a State-owned company under the China Electrical Equipment Group Co specializing in electrical equipment manufacturing and power transmission.
The company has provided power system solutions and contributed to the construction of electrical infrastructure in 94 countries involved in the BRI, including Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Greece.
In Murghab, Tajikistan, a 600-kilowatt/1.2-megawatt-hour photovoltaic energy storage power station began operating in 2023 with the support of Shandong Electrical Engineering and Equipment Group, which increased local grid capacity by 30 percent and significantly improved electricity supply and living standards for local residents.
The city of Murghab, situated on the Pamir Plateau at an altitude of nearly 3,700 meters, previously relied on a small hydropower station that struggled to meet demand, with residents facing frequent power shortages during the winter.
The company participated in the construction of the power stations, delivered comprehensive power system solutions, and supplied critical components, including energy storage systems, inverters, and photovoltaic panels.
The photovoltaic energy project generates an average of 580,000 kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually and reduces carbon dioxide emissions by about 472 metric tons each year, significantly improving the reliability of electricity for local residents.
In addition, the Shandong group contributed to the construction of a shared communication tower project in Cambodia, marking its entry into the country's telecommunications sector and greatly supporting the development of its digital infrastructure.
The company helped supply 112 charging stations to Greece, promoting energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. The project also helped enhance Greece's capabilities in clean energy transportation and deepened technical collaboration between the two sides.
Today, the group has a presence in 108 countries worldwide. In 2023, the company exported over 100 transformers rated at 110 kilovolts and above, about 150,000 tons of transmission towers, over 5,000 tons of conductors, and more than 1,500 kilometers of cables to Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa, supporting the power infrastructure of these regions through the provision of high-quality products.
In Namibia, the company is spearheading the Omburu 54 MW/54MWh centralized grid-side energy storage project, the country's first such endeavor. This pioneering project will provide a sustainable, innovative, and environmentally friendly energy solution for the country, improving electricity access for residents and significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions.
In April, the Shandong group signed an agreement with Tajikistan to develop an integrated wind-solar-storage clean energy project, marking the first of its kind in the country. The project will establish energy stations in 22 towns within the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region and is expected to reduce coal consumption by 5,000 tons annually and cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 14,000 tons, fostering local economic sustainability.
