Energy & Power Sector

The energy and power sector encompasses diverse clean energy fields, including nuclear, wind, and hydropower. Supporting infrastructure must withstand continuous high-load operations over long service lives, placing stringent demands on structural steel regarding strength, low-temperature toughness, fatigue resistance, and operational stability.

In recent years, Xiangtan has expanded its presence in the R&D and manufacturing of nuclear power steel, independently developing 11 categories of high-end steel products—including 4th-generation nuclear power steel, extra-thick nuclear steel plates, and nuclear clad plates.

In the wind energy sector, Xiangtan closely aligns with industry development trends, continuously upgrading and expanding its high-end portfolio. The company offers ultra-wide and extra-thick wind power steel featuring high strength and toughness, ultra-high purity, and superior fatigue resistance.

For large-scale hydropower and pumped-storage projects with high water heads and long service lives, Xiangtan self-developed 800 MPa-grade high-strength hydropower steel. Characterized by low weld crack sensitivity, high pressure resistance, and superior impact resistance, this material meets the rigorous demands of core components such as pressure steel pipes (penstocks), turbine volutes (spiral cases), and bifurcated pipes (bifurcations). It has been supplied to landmark overseas Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) hydropower projects—including Pakistan’s Suki Kinari Project and Indonesia’s Jatigede Dam—overcoming complex manufacturing challenges associated with ultra-thick, ultra-high-strength hydropower steel.

Relying on consistent, high-quality products and customized high-end steel solutions, Xiangtan provides a reliable material guarantee for the long-term, safe operation of global clean energy and power infrastructure, powering the global energy transition toward green and low-carbon development.
