The construction of the Hyperion 150MW Photovoltaic Power Station in Portugal, which was undertaken by China Machinery Engineering Corporation (CMEC), a subsidiary of Sinomach, took an unexpected turn when a group of white storks, a protected species, was discovered nesting within the project site. The project team, committed to harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, promptly collaborated with the station's owner and local environmental and animal protection organizations to ensure the well-being of the storks.

Recognizing the importance of preserving the delicate balance between progress and nature, the project team made a conscientious effort. Construction was temporarily halted, and a comprehensive plan was developed to relocate the white storks while ensuring the optimal arrangement and capacity of the photovoltaic components.

The collaboration resulted in not only the successful relocation of the birds but also the establishment of a new habitat that prioritizes their continued well-being. This initiative showcases Sinomach CMEC's commitment to environmental conservation also emphasizes the practical implementation of the principle of harmonious coexistence.

The Hyperion 150MW Photovoltaic Power Station stands both as a testament to cutting-edge renewable energy and as a beacon of environmental stewardship, setting a commendable example for sustainable development practices within the global energy sector.
