Wanzhou Signs Three Major Projects Totaling RMB10 Billion at WCIFIT!

On May 23, the Wanzhou District of Chongqing announced the successful signing of three major projects at the 7th Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade (WCIFIT), with a total investment of RMB10 billion. These projects span the power/thermal energy supply and food processing sectors, injecting robust momentum into regional high-quality development.

Among them, a 9-billion-yuan integrated energy development project will construct two 1,000-MW ultra-supercritical coal-fired power generation units along with supporting port facilities. It will also include desulfurization and denitrification systems (meeting standards below ultra-low emissions) and a 500,000-ton coal storage yard, aiming to build an efficient and clean energy supply system.

The 500-million-yuan second-phase cogeneration project in Chongqing Wanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone's Jiulong Park will add an 800-ton high-temperature, ultra-high-pressure coal-fired boiler and an 80-MW extraction back-pressure power generation unit. This initiative will enhance the park's energy infrastructure, providing stable and efficient energy support for industrial enterprises and boosting the park's industrial competitiveness.

Another 500-million-yuan project focuses on comprehensive rice utilization and grain/oil processing. It will establish production lines for rice and rapeseed processing, along with supporting storage, logistics, and trade facilities. This project will advance deep processing of Wanzhou's high-quality agricultural products, promote full-industry-chain development, and increase agricultural efficiency and farmers' incomes.

In recent years, Wanzhou District has prioritized industrial strength as a cornerstone of high-quality development, continuously optimizing its business environment. By focusing on industrial upgrading, smart technologies, and green transformation, the district has driven innovation-led development of new productive forces. It has steadily expanded three pillar industries - advanced materials, food/agricultural processing, and intelligent equipment/manufacturing - as well as two distinctive sectors: pharmaceutical/chemicals and new energy, accelerating the establishment of a modern industrial system.

"These three newly signed projects will further enhance the clustered and chained development of Wanzhou's three pillar industries and two distinctive sectors, elevating their high-end, smart, and green capabilities," said a spokesperson from the Wanzhou Commerce Commission. "Moving forward, we will fully support project implementation to ensure early completion, operation, and effectiveness, delivering fresh impetus to the local economy."
