The agreement will take effect after Sinosteel Equipment & Engineering receives advance payment, the statement said, adding that Sinosteel Equipment & Engineering will take charge of the design, procurement and supply of equipment and materials, as well as construction, installation and commissioning services.

The contract includes construction of two new 350-megawatt engine units and ancillary production and transmission facilities, as well as a dedicated coal terminal. Work on the first unit is expected to finish within 36 months after groundbreaking, and the second within 48 months.
