What is Cem doing in Macau?

In Macau’s Dawan District, CEM is currently involved in constructing renewable energy sources such as offshore wind power and solar photovoltaic power generation. It’s also involved in building hydropower renewable energy, such as pumped storage and natural gas combined-cycle power generation projects.

Why does Macau need a power supply system?

As an international city, Macau has very high requirements for power supply quality and service quality. CEM needs advanced technologies to provide users with high-quality power and services and meet its commitment to sustainable development.
