model, the Polestar 1.
Polestar 1 is a grand touring coupé, with a
600 hp electric performance hybrid powertrain
that also offers 150 km of pure electric range –
the longest of any hybrid car in the world.
Polestar is targeting to build a maximum of
500 units per year.
The production centre will be the most
environmentally responsible car factory in
China, and one of the most efficient in the
world, targeting gold status in the globally
recognised Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design.
The facility will also include a customer
experience centre and test track, constructed
within the campus, to enable potential
customers to evaluate the car to the extremes,
which is not possible on public roads.

Shurton high-voltage substation.
Location
Shurton, England.
Client
National Grid.
Project Description
The project entails the construction of a 400 kV
substation to integrate electricity produced by
the new Hinkley Point C nuclear power station,
in Somerset, south-west England, and to feed
it into the power network.
The substation will provide double-circuit
connections for the existing substations at
Taunton and Melksham.
It will feature gas insulated switchgear, which
will allow for the substation to be built indoors
within a compact building to use the restricted
space available on site optimally.
Gas insulated busbars will connect the
switchgear to the overhead line and
cable circuits. The project will also deliveradvance digital control, protection and
telecommunications systems.
Potential Job Creation.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental &
Chemical Engineering (MHIEC) has received
an order from Sagamihara City to refurbish the
core components of the Kita waste-to-energy
plant. The order covers the replacement and
upgrading of superannuated components,
including equipment for refuse feeding,
incineration, combustion gas cooling, flue
gas treatment, ventilation, ash handling and
water supply, as well as electrical and other
instrumentation.
Energy efficiency will be enhanced through
the application of MHIEC’s proprietary New
Combustion Control System, which contributes
to stable combustion, as well as more efficient
ventilation equipment and high-efficiencymotors and inverters. In addition, carbon
dioxide emissions will be reduced by an
estimated 10% a year by increasing the output
of the steam turbine to 2 625 kW.
The order is valued at ¥6.3-billion.
