BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- The first unit of Ecuador Minas 3X90MW hydropower project built by Harbin Electric International Co., Ltd. (HEI) was successfully connected to the grid and started generating electricity, the company announced on Friday.

HEI is a branch of Harbin Electric Corporation (HE), the earliest-established power generation equipment manufacturing company in China. The Minas project is HE's first hydropower project in South American market.

The project's success is significant for electricity supply in Ecuador.
