A series of Sino-French agreements on cooperation in the construction of Taishan EPR nuclear power project in Guangdong Province were signed on November 26, 2007, witnessed by the heads of state of China and France. Following the signing of these agreements, the construction of Taishan 1 started on October 26, 2009, marking the third EPR unit under construction following the first two in Finland and France. The unit went into commercial operation on December 13, 2018, becoming the world's first EPR unit in commercial operation.
