Dongfang Electrical Machinery Co. Ltd. (DFEM), a major Chinese power-generating equipment manufacturer, has completed construction of a 1,750-megawatt (mw) nuclear generator and started transporting it to a nuclear power plant in south China on August 24.

The 1,750-mw generator currently has the biggest per-unit installed capacity among nuclear generators in the world, according to the DFEM, which is based in southwest China's Sichuan Province.

The generator is being sent to the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in south China's Guangdong Province from the company's production base in Deyang, Sichuan.

DFEM will provide two such generators for the plant. It has produced 14 nuclear generators so far with a total installed capacity of 15,790 mw.
