China General Nuclear Power Group believed to be the company's best example of what the company has to offer. This has been developed into the Generation III Hualong One design. In February 2007, CGN signed a contract with Areva to build Taishan nuclear station with Areva's EPR, and the Xianning nuclear station will use Westinghouse Electric Company's AP1000. These two events makes this company among the first to build a nuclear station with generation III+ reactors. Operating stations: Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant and Ling Ao Nuclear Power Plant phase I. Under construction: Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant, Ningde Nuclear Power Plant, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station,
