Mr Kang, Chief Executive of CCEC, said: "The new capital will be used to expandour operations and enable us to take on more new projects. Our current pipelineshould generate more profits and strengthen our presence in China as a leadingplayer in the Chinese CDM market." Asia Water wins contracts and invests in project Singapore listed investee company, Asia Water, announced last week that it hasinvested in a new £22.8 million wastewater treatment project and secured a £4.1million nuclear power plant water treatment project ("the project"). Asia Water's wholly-owned subsidiary, Asia Water Investments Pte. Ltd ("AWI"),together with government-owned Wuhan City Dongxihu District DevelopmentInvestment Co., Ltd ("Wuhan City Development") will form a new subsidiarycompany, Wuhan Dongxihu, to manage the project. AWI will hold a 70% stake inWuhan Dongxihu and Wuhan City Development will own the remaining 30%. The Build-Operate-Transfer contract involves the construction of a 101km2drainage network, which includes a 73.8km sewage pipeline, eight pumpingstations and other related facilities. Upon completion, the network will linkseveral key commercial, industrial and agricultural areas in the Wuhan Dongxihudistrict. The wastewater collected will be treated by another of the Group'sassociated companies - Wuhan Hanxi Waste Water Treatment Co., Ltd ("Wuhan Hanxi"), before being discharged into a local river. Wuhan Dongxihu has beengranted an exclusive license to manage the project for a period of 25 years,including an initial construction period, which will last around 18 months. BothWuhan Hanxi and Wuhan Dongxihu will generate fees for both wastewater treatmentand wastewater collection and transportation. Asia Water has also announced that it has secured a £4.1 million water treatmentproject for the first nuclear power plant to be constructed in China that usesadvanced saltwater desalination technology. The plant will be built in Dalian,Liaoning Province, and is scheduled to open for operations by the fourth quarterof 2009. With an initial power generating capacity of 4x1,000 MW, the plantwill be the largest nuclear power plant to be built in China with such capacityin a single phase. This will be Asia Water's third nuclear power plant water treatment project,with the other two located in Shenzhen and Qinshan, and it firmly establishesAsia Water as one of the largest contractors for nuclear power plant watertreatment systems in China. Huang Hanguang, CEO of Asia Water, said: "We believe that demand for nuclearpower is expected to grow in China, underpinned by a rapidly growing economy. Asone of only three companies licensed to provide water treatment services fornuclear power plants in China, Asia Water is in an enviable position tocapitalise on its 'first to market' advantage and to secure other such projectsin this growing sector." "This latest project will strengthen further Asia Water's reputation in thepower plant generation industry. Water treatment systems for nuclear powerplants require more stringent and precise standards than traditional coal-firedpower plant water treatment systems, attesting to our superior technicalcapability. Our portfolio of nuclear projects provides strong credentials tohelp us secure more power plant projects in China and overseas."
