This is a JV with GE though.
I have noticed it's the Chinese SOEs that are the most conservative and keep trying to depend on JVs and such. Chinese private firms are bolder.
Why did a large Chinese SOE need to go into a JV for importing design and components?

They’re not actually importing components. The JVs are how China has been able to expand demand for local suppliers while indigenous designs were still on-ramping. This has been going on for over a decade now.
Another project like this. I think people should understand that China has just gotten a 110MW gas turbine into production and its 25 to 50MW turbines are very reliable now. But they are still developing their own 300MW & 400MW F and H class turbines. This is going to take some time to complete. It just hasn't been a major priority given that China has such a vibrant renewable industry. There are more important priorities out there. the 7 to 50MW turbines are all you need for these naval and industrial applications.
sir F class 300MW heavy duty gas turbine is completed. first prototype rolled off from assembly line in March last year.
H class 400MW gas turbine tender has announced too. prototype coming soon.
a project is only ready when it has been certified after x hours of testing on the grid.
Great achievement
There's also trials of the same method for lupus in Canada (Vancouver and Toronto) and for scleroderma. Very promising.
