Taiyuan Steel increases self-sufficiency in electricity supply

According to Shanxi Province-based Chinese steelmaker Taiyuan Iron and Steel Group (Taiyuan Steel or TISCO), the annual electricity generation of its energy and power plant in 2011 is expected to total 5.2 billion kWh, equal to 105 percent of the original target.
 
Taiyuan Steel's stainless steel division is now fully self-sufficient in electricity supply, while Taiyuan Steel as a whole is over 80 percent self-sufficient. 
 
Taiyuan Steel's power generation project including the construction of two 300 MW power generators at its power plant was commissioned in 2010.
