A meeting between China Yangtze Power Co Ltd (CYPC) and Energias de Portugal (EDP) was held on May 9 to discuss their joint reform efforts on the electric power system at Chongqing Liangjiang Changxing Electric Power Co Ltd.

Last October, CYPC and EDP signed a cooperation agreement for future cooperation in new energy, global water and electricity, technology research and development, talent exchange and other fields.

EDP ranks among Europe’s major electricity suppliers, and is one of Portugal’s largest business groups. The company sent two experts to Chongqing Liangjiang Changxing Electric Power Co Ltd to provide technical references and development suggestions.

Joao Marques da Cruz, executive director of Energias de Portugal, said the three-month experts exchange at Liangjiang’s company is the first trial for the EDP cooperation with CYPC. EDP’s expert team will continue to give greater electric reform support to Changxing.

Zhang Dingming, general manager of CYPC, shared that the two companies chose Liangjiang Changxing Electric Power Co Ltd to be their first cooperation because Chongqing is a pilot region for the country’s electric power system reforms.

This latest exchange has laid a sound foundation for future strategic cooperation between CYPC and EDP.
