In 2019,CTG led a consortium formed by the subsidiary Hubei Energy Group,Ace Investment Fund,a CTG clean energy fund,and CNIC Corporation,acquired the Chaglla Hydroelectric Plant project from Brazilian group Odebrecht. After the acquisition,the ownership and operation of the plant passed to the CTG subsidiary. The company has been working with Huallaga during the past year to build an effective management system and foster a cohesive community to fight the pandemic. What the pair have achieved in cooperation has largely driven the implement of the project.

Protect environment and support local community

The CTG Hubei Energy Group has been monitoring the impact of the project on the environment since the first day it took over and a range of work has been done to preserve the local environment. The company has also been working with the local community to improve transportation. It offers a free commute bus for residents and free water transportation in the plant area. In addition,to make the community lead a better life around the plant project,the company has financed the building of aquaculture facilities to develop fishing and fish-farming.

Create better work environment and increase efficiency with enhanced regulations

Together with Huallaga,the CTG subsidiary has amended some 300 SOP documents and regulations. Based on the local law,the company has amended and launched internal regulations for employees,as well as guidebooks to clarify duties and overviews of different positions.

In terms of the management system,the company has adopted a three-layer structure of shareholders,the board and general managers. A wide range of revisions have been made to facilitate the decision making at the top.

Build independent and safe IT systems
