Paris, March 24, 2021 - Mersen, a global expert in electrical specialties and

Mersen will supply nearly 28,000 cooling plates to protect the power modules
integrated in two high voltage flexible HVDC converter stations. These new
converter stations, which will interconnect the power grids of Dongguang and
Zengcheng districts, will be the largest ever built in the world and will
ensure a secure supply of power to the Greater Bay Area, thus promoting the
region's economic and social development.
The Group was chosen after a tender process lasting several months, based on
the flawless reliability assurances required for this type of equipment, which
is used in particularly demanding environments and conditions.
Delivery is scheduled from March to October 2021.
