Two units at the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant are under construction in Chixizhen, Taishan, Guangdong province, China.[1] It is planned to go online in 2013 and will be the third site to house Areva's 1,700 megawatt (MW) European Pressurized Reactor (EPR) units. The project is owned by Guangdong Taishan Nuclear Power Joint Venture Company Limited (TNPC), a joint venture, which is 70% owned by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGNPC) and 30% by Électricité de France (EDF).

On August 26, 2008, excavation work began.[2] The first concrete for the first unit was poured in October 2009.[3] Construction of each unit is planned to take 46 months, significantly faster and cheaper than the first two EPRs in Finland and France.[4]
