In May, Shanghai Electric received the final handover certificate and contract warranty letter after its 50 MW photovoltaic project in Branston, UK, passed the two-year warranty test and, marking Shanghai Electric's first photovoltaic engineering, procurement, and completed construction (EPC) project operating in the country.

The project sits in Lincolnshire in central England as one of the biggest PV projects in the region. The final handover certificate was a milestone for Shanghai Electric to expand its presence in the UK PV market, and the project accumulated invaluable experience for Shanghai Electric to implement new energy EPC projects in Europe and other high-end markets.

Amid the construction period, the project department ensured the completion of the project as scheduled despite the delayed arrival of equipment and postponed on-site verification of grid connection. Confronting complex local entry requirements for technology and on-site construction, the project department carried out a lot of researches and texts and achieved a successful handover, delivering a high-quality project to the property owner.
