Sept 29 (Reuters) - Chinese green energy company A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd said it received a three-phase, six-year RMB 1.87 billion ($279 million) engineering, procurement and construction contract (EPC) from Baishan Long Run Water Conservancy Development Co Ltd.
A-Power, a provider of distributed power generation systems and maker of wind turbines, said it expects to recognize revenue over six years on a percentage of completion method.
The Baishan long run water conservancy project, located in the city of Baishan in Jilin province, is divided into three phases, with each phase expected to last twenty four months.
