Morocco Jerada O&M Project Successfully Completes the 2024 Peak Summer Power Supply Task and Achieves 200 Consecutive Days of "No Unplanned Shutdowns"
2024-09-26
As of September 24, 2024, the 1×350MW coal-fired generator unit at the Jerada power plant in Morocco has been operating safely and steadily for 200 consecutive days, with an annual cumulative power generation exceeding 1.95 billion kWh. This marks the successful completion of the 2024 peak summer power supply task, laying a solid foundation for achieving the annual safety production goals.
As the energy hub of eastern Morocco, the Jerada power plant plays a crucial role in ensuring the power supply for the entire eastern region. This summer, Morocco experienced an unprecedented, prolonged period of extreme heat, with days above 40°C increasing by 50% compared to previous years, leading to a sharp rise in electricity demand and presenting significant challenges for power supply.
To proactively address the severe situation of power supply during the summer, the Morocco Jerada O&M Project strictly followed the deployment plan for peak summer operations. They efficiently implemented the air-cooling island spray system, allowing the Jerada plant unit to maintain long-term full-load, high back-pressure operation. Additionally, the project adopted a series of targeted and effective measures to ensure the long-term, safe, and efficient operation of the unit. In daily operations, the department rigorously adhered to the "Two-Ticket Three-System" protocol, strengthened inspections in key areas and equipment, and regularly conducted emergency drills to enhance the on-site personnel’s ability to handle unexpected incidents, thereby solidifying the foundation for power supply assurance.
In equipment management, the project optimized and upgraded the "Equipment Defect Management Regulations”, continuously strengthening inspections and maintenance of key equipment on-site, promptly identifying and eliminating safety hazards, significantly improving the health of the equipment. In terms of safety management, the O&M team ensured robust on-site safety control, reinforced technical supervision during defect resolution and maintenance, and advanced the anti-violation campaign, intensifying the enforcement of regulations. They meticulously implemented various power supply measures to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the unit during the peak summer period.
Thanks to these measures, the Jerada plant unit performed excellently throughout the summer, with a load factor reaching 98.5%. During this period, the project’s professional teams remained on duty and worked in close coordination, fully supporting the Moroccan power grid in handling peak electricity demand, effectively alleviating the power supply strain, and ensuring the safe and stable power supply for the eastern region of Morocco. Their performance earned high recognition from both the owner and the local government.
Looking ahead, the project will continue to uphold the principles of "high standards, strict discipline, meticulous execution, and practical results", further deepening operations and maintenance quality management, reducing the unit's energy consumption indicators, improving equipment operating efficiency, and enhancing the project’s production performance capacity. The goal is to complete the annual production targets and contribute to the company’s high-quality development through concrete actions.
