Shanxi Power Grid strongly supports economic transformation and energy revolution

"In the first half of the year, Shanxi's power grid construction made rapid progress, with the scale of construction and commissioning reaching a historical high, which has effectively served and supported the province's economic transformation and energy revolution." On June 22, the provincial power company released relevant information, and the achievements in power grid construction were eye-catching.

Since the beginning of this year, in order to better serve the province's economic and social development and implement the action plan of "building a national energy revolution vanguard" formulated by the provincial party committee and government, the provincial power company has comprehensively accelerated the pace of power grid construction and made every effort to ensure the smooth implementation of transformation projects. They continue to optimize the infrastructure management system, strengthen infrastructure management, and help the company and the power grid develop with high quality. At the same time, 2019 was designated as the "Year of Improving Efficiency in Infrastructure Management". With a problem-oriented approach, the company sorted out shortcomings and focused on solving problems such as inadequate implementation of systems, imperfect mechanisms and processes, and unadvanced management and control methods. Through the deployment and implementation of 30 work tasks, 60 problems covering pre-management, project coordination, safety and quality, technical economy, and supporting reforms were solved in a targeted manner, focusing on improving the level of lean management of infrastructure. They also increased the supervision of projects that were delayed in starting and putting into production, especially for key projects involving economic transformation and energy revolution, clarifying responsibilities and implementation time to ensure timely and high-quality completion.

According to reports, as of now, Shanxi Power Grid plans to start 44 projects of 110 kV and above throughout the year, and has started 21 projects, with a construction scale of 710.19 kilometers and 4.581 million kVA; it plans to put into operation 62 projects of 110 kV and above throughout the year, and has put into operation 45 projects, with a production scale of 1060.5 kilometers and 6.425 million kVA. The construction and production scales have completed 55.5% and 80% of the annual plan, respectively, both of which are historical highs. Due to strict quality control, the commissioning rate of all projects in the first half of the year was 100%. Among them, the Yuheng-Weifang 1000 kV UHV AC transmission and transformation project, after winning the State Grid Corporation's Quality Project Gold Award and the China Electric Power Quality Project Award, is now sprinting towards the "National Quality Project Award".

The rapid progress of power grid construction has provided a strong foundation for the economic transformation and energy revolution of our province. Taking the first phase of the 500 kV Shuozhou Shenquan Power Plant, which was completed on March 1, as an example, the commissioning of this project not only ensures that the annual 6 billion kWh of power generated by the Shenquan Power Plant can be transmitted to the outside through UHV in a timely manner, but also brings into play the huge economic benefits of UHV. In addition, the early and high-quality commissioning of the Changzhi photovoltaic leading Licheng power transmission and Datong photovoltaic leading Hunyuan photovoltaic transmission project has laid a solid foundation for the development of clean energy, the reduction of environmental pollution, and the victory of the battle to protect the blue sky.
