The Steinari Thermal Power Plant is the first thermal power plant built by a Chinese company in Europe. The thermal power station was built by Dongfang Electric, and the company's headquarters are located in Sichuan Province in southwestern China. Ji Hongchun, a senior engineer of Dongfang Electric's Steinari Thermal Power Plant Project, said: "Steinari is relatively in a biased position and the local economy is relatively backward. The construction of the thermal power plant is entirely out of environmental and economic considerations."

Construction history of Steinari Thermal Power Station

Since the project was put into production, it has injected strong impetus into the local economic development, and the town where the project is located has undergone profound changes. It has not only greatly improved the local infrastructure, but also brought thousands of jobs, which was only 2000 at the beginning. A small town with a large population has now developed into a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Steinari is rich in low-quality coal, which emits a lot of pollutants when burned in conventional ways. Due to strict European environmental regulations, local power shortages have hindered development. "Ji Hongchun said, "The thermal power plant's sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and dust emission levels meet EU standards. "The project broke ground in 2013. At that time, Steinari was just a small town with a population of just over 2,000.

Ji Hongchun said, "The project was very difficult at the beginning. Our team of owner's supervision engineers is from Germany. They represent the high-end level of Europe in this field and have extremely high demands on us." "This is a process of gradually gaining mutual trust and establishing mutual relationships The process of friendship, we discussed on the same table, won their support and approval, and established a deep friendship, which made us proud.” The Steinari Thermal Power Plant has become world-renowned, and the area has now been upgraded to a municipality. . Since the operation of the power station, Ji Hongchun has witnessed great improvements in the lives of local people.

Ji Hongchun said, “The Steinari Thermal Power Plant has now hired about 1,200 local employees, which has greatly increased the local employment rate. Now, the residents of Steinari can proudly say that their average salary ranks first in Bosnia and Herzegovina. See The lives of my friends have improved, and our sense of accomplishment can't help but come out spontaneously." This is a bridge that brings the two cultures closer together.Editor/Xing Wentao
