Recently, the company welcomed a group of distinguished guests from afar-experts and technical delegations from the Ethiopian Electric Power Company (EEU). The core purpose of this visit is to conduct in-depth Factory Inspection for 20 high-voltage substation equipment involved in Ethiopia's important national grid upgrading project for several days. This indicates that the project has entered the key stage of equipment manufacturing and quality pre-control, and the cooperation between China and Ethiopia in the field of energy infrastructure has taken a solid step.
During the audit, the experts from the Ethiopian Electric Power Bureau showed high professionalism and a rigorous and responsible attitude. Accompanied by our project management, technology and quality team, the audit team went deep into the first-line production workshop and inspected the core production process of transformer coil winding, iron core assembly and oil tank welding. At the same time, the experts carefully reviewed the design drawings, material purchase certificates, quality control plans and international standards compliance documents (such as IEC standards) of relevant equipment.
In the key test link, the audit team witnessed the factory test of one representative product, including but not limited to routine test, type test and some special test items. The test data all meet or even exceed the requirements of the contract and technical agreement, and are highly recognized by experts. The two sides held several rounds of fruitful special meetings on technical details, production schedule, packaging and transportation scheme, and coordination of subsequent on-site installation and debugging.
The head of the audit team of Ethiopia Electric Power Bureau said in the exchange: "This audit is not only a test of the quality of the equipment itself, but also a consolidation of the trust and cooperation between our cooperation teams. We saw your advanced production equipment, perfect quality management system and professional technical team, which enhanced our confidence in the successful implementation of the project. These 20 box type substations are crucial for improving the stability of China's power grid and expanding its coverage. "
At the reception, the general manager of our company stressed: "We attach great importance to the cooperation with the Ethiopian Electric Power Bureau and regard this project as the benchmark project of the company in the African market. We will control every production link with the strictest standards, ensure that these substations are delivered on time and with good quality, and provide stable and reliable power support for Ethiopia's economic development and improvement of people's livelihood. "
The 20-substation project is an important part of the energy plan promoted by the Ethiopian government, aiming at optimizing the structure of the national main power grid, improving the reliability of power supply, and supporting industrial growth and regional interconnection. As a core equipment supplier, our company won the bid successfully with decades of technical accumulation and rich experience in international project implementation in the field of power equipment.
The successful completion of the factory audit paved the way for subsequent batch production and delivery, and laid a solid foundation for long-term cooperation between the two sides in the broader energy field. The company will continue to adhere to the concept of "quality first, customer first", ensure the complete success of this important project, and contribute its professional strength to jointly build the "Belt and Road" energy partnership between China and Africa.
