GE will also supply spare parts and engineering support, as well as on-site services and repair.
The new MYA will help ensure reliable and sustainable supply of electricity to the Guangdong Province in China. Operating costs per unit kWh and fuel costs are expected to reduce upon completion.
DNMC deputy general manager Li Zhishen said: “Operating for more than 20 years, the Daya Bay nuclear power base rigorously pursues the principles of ‘safety first, quality foremost and operational excellence', and its leading operating performance has been well-recognised worldwide.
