As the ‘eldest son’ of China’s equipment manufacturing industry, HE has shouldered a historical mission of 'carrying the hope of national industry and demonstrating the vigor of China's power' since its birth. It made its way to success with the unique features of 'introduction, digestion, absorption and recreation', achieving a great leap forward in China’s manufacturing level and the independent innovation capacity of power generation equipment. HE also achieved the transformation of power generation equipment manufacturing, from 'Made in China' to 'Created in China', a change which has improved the popularity and influence of our country in the international power generation equipment market.
For 70 years, HE has continued to advance in the high-end field of power generation equipment by virtue of its increasing strength and perseverance in the face of challenges. As a result, HE has been responsible for many milestones in every stage in the development of China’s equipment manufacturing industry: its jump in output capacity from 200MW to 1,000MW brought an end to the high energy-consumption and small-capacity conditions of China’s power generation units; its succession of leaps from ultrahigh pressure, through subcritical and supercritical parameters, to ultra-supercritical parameters demonstrated that it had mastered the most advanced, energy-saving and environmentally sound technologies in the design and manufacture of power generation equipment; its advancement from the conventional thermal power unit to the nuclear power unit broke the monopoly that western countries had formerly held in nuclear technology and helped HE to become one of the few corporations able to independently manufacture essential nuclear power equipment; its development from the 0.8 MW hydropower unit to the 700 MW air-cooled hydropower unit, the largest of its kind ever made, enabled HE to lead the world in the hydropower industry.
Looking into the future, HE still aims to become ‘The Best in China, Ranked First in the World’. As one of 53 centrally-administrated enterprises which are closely linked to the national security and national economy lifeline, we will continue to play an exemplary leading role and to be mindful of our political, economic and social responsibilities. By adhering to our objective of ‘providing power for the world and bringing light to humanity', we will ‘unite in a concerted effort and gather all our forces’, making a joint effort with those who support and care for HE to further develop this great corporation. With unwavering confidence that we can add to the strength and prosperity of China's national industry, we will raise the sail of reform, independent innovation and the 'opening-up' of the country and set sail over the waves. We will strive to create a powerful ‘aircraft carrier’ for the world equipment manufacturing industry. Together, we will create a beautiful, vibrant and brilliant future.
