PowerChina Zhongnan Engineering Corporation will carry out the engineering procurement and construction for this project. The turbines are slated for delivery during the third quarter of this year and the project is due to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2018. In addition, Gamesa will maintain the complex for the next 10 years.
