North China Electric Power University (Chinese: 华北电力大学; pinyin: Huáběi diànlì dàxué) is a university based in Beijing, People's Republic of China under the national Ministry of Education that specializes in polytechnic disciplines.

Introduction

North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) is affiliated with the Ministry of Education, officially listed as one of the “211 Project” and “985 Project” universities as well as a “Predominant Discipline Innovation Platform” . At present, NCEPU is a key university jointly constructed by the Ministry of Education and the University Council, which is composed of State Grid Corporation of China, China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd., China Huaneng Group, China Datang Corporation, China Huadian Corporation, China Guodian Corporation and China Power Investment Corporation. NCEPU is composed of two respective campuses in Beijing and in Baoding, with its main campus in Beijing.

History

The university was established as the Beijing Institute of Electric Power in 1958. It was later renamed the North China Institute of Electric Power when its location was moved to Baoding, Hebei province in 1970. When the school merged with the Beijing Power Engineering and Electronics Institute in 1995, it was given its present name. In 2006, the university relocated its main campus from Baoding, Hebei province back to Beijing. It still has the major campus in Baoding.

A close neighbor of Badaling highway, adjoining Olympic Green on the east and Zhongguancun high technology zone and Shangdi Information Industry base on the west, North China Electric Power University is located in Deshengmenwaizhuxinzhuang, Beijing. It is found in beautiful surroundings.

As one of the key universities in China with a history of more than 40 years, this university has been fostering talents in the areas of engineering technology, management, economics and the social sciences. There are more than 8500 students with over 600 graduate students and doctor students.
