Shanghai Electric continues its international expansion by earning several certifications for projects in strategic regions, highlighting its alignment with global energy priorities. These distinctions, spanning both operational safety and environmental management, position the company as a key partner for governments and investors.

One of the most notable projects is Noor Energy 1, located in the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai. This 950 MW hybrid complex combining CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) and photovoltaic technology has enabled Shanghai Electric to complete 15 million hours of work without incident. This achievement is rooted in a strict risk management methodology and the integration of enhanced safety protocols, crucial for ensuring long-term operational viability.

A Leverage Point in the MENA Region

In the Gulf, Shanghai Electric also made strides in Oman, where the Manah-1 independent solar project recorded 3 million hours of work without accidents. In a region where energy infrastructure must be rapidly developed to meet rising demand, the company’s ability to maintain high standards under pressure plays a strategic role in its relations with local decision-makers.

Focus on South and Southeast Asia

In South Asia, Shanghai Electric gained recognition in Bangladesh through its 800 MW combined cycle power plant project, which achieved 5 million hours of accident-free work. This accomplishment aligns with the national objectives of modernizing energy infrastructure to keep pace with rapid urbanization.

In Malaysia, the company earned the annual excellence award in environmental management for its waste-to-energy project in Selangor. As the state’s first waste incineration plant, this project demonstrates Shanghai Electric’s ability to meet regulatory expectations while creating critical infrastructure.

Local Engagement to Strengthen Buy-In

In Pakistan’s Thar region, Shanghai Electric undertook community development initiatives, including support for local schools. These efforts allow the company to build sustainable ties with local populations, an often-essential strategy to secure operations in politically sensitive or economically marginalized areas.

Strategic Implications for Investors

These certifications and initiatives bolster Shanghai Electric’s credibility with governments and investors, particularly in emerging markets where public-private partnerships are rapidly expanding. With a diversified portfolio and a proven ability to meet international standards, the company positions itself as a key player in global energy transitions.
