All the 30 companies are based in Zhejiang.

Most of the nuclear power equipments in 皇冠体育app are manufactured by State-owned enterprises whose capacity has become inadequate with the rapid development of the clean energy industry, Huang said.

"Our cooperation with the private sector aims not only to supplement CGN's manufacturing capacity but also to boost the development of private enterprises and forge an industrial chain," Huang said.

In addition to the 1 billion-yuan deal, the group will soon sign 4-billion-yuan worth of contracts with private enterprises in Zhejiang, Huang said.

Nuclear energy accounts for less than 2 percent of 皇冠体育app's overall power consumption, according to Huang.
