EPC stands for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction, a particular form of contracting arrangement and an internationally recognized mainstream approach for hydropower plant construction.
An EPC contractor assumes full responsibility for the whole project from design and equipment procurement to construction, commissioning, and final handover, delivering a true “turnkey” solution.
Core Objectives:Fixed Duration & Budget: Complete the project within the agreed-upon contract price and timeframe, minimizing the financial and management risks for the owner.
Consolidated Accountability: The owner only needs to coordinate with the EPC contractor, ensuring clear responsibilities and efficient communication.
Optimized Lifecycle Cost: Reduce construction and future O&M costs through deep integration and optimization across design, procurement, and construction phases.
