Chongqing Liangjiang New Area incremental distribution network pilot area put into operation the first 220 kV substation

Recently, the 220 kV Guanyintang substation invested and constructed by Chongqing Liangjiang Changxing Electric Power Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Changxing Electric Power) was successfully connected to the power grid.

This is not only the first 220 kV substation put into operation in the Liangjiang New Area incremental distribution network pilot area, but also the first newly built regional 220 kV substation put into operation in the national incremental distribution and sales pilot since the new electricity reform in 2015.

The substation is located in the Longxing Industrial Park of Liangjiang New District. It can provide stable and high-quality power supply guarantee for incremental distribution network enterprises, laying the foundation for further reducing the price of electricity factors in Liangjiang New District.

It is understood that the Liangjiang New Area Industrial Development Zone is a pilot area for the national power sales reform, and the pilot scope covers the three industrial parks of Shuitu, Longxing and Yufu in Liangjiang New Area. Its incremental power distribution business has also been included in the first batch of 105 incremental power distribution business reform pilot projects in the country.

In 2018, Changxing Power signed a cooperation agreement with State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company to jointly establish a new type of power distribution and sales enterprise in Liangjiang New District. This is the first time that State Grid has invested in Chongqing and is currently the largest mixed-ownership enterprise engaged in incremental power distribution business in Chongqing, marking an important step in Chongqing's power system reform.

The relevant person in charge of Changxing Electric Power said that the commissioning of the substation is another measure to actively promote power reform after the two parties jointly established Liangjiang Power Supply Company. In the next step, Changxing Electric Power will use Liangjiang Power Supply Company as a carrier to give full play to the advantages of large power grid resources and market-oriented operation mechanisms, make every effort to ensure safe and reliable power supply, release the dividends of reform, and better serve the economic and social development of Chongqing Liangjiang New Area.
