Jiuquan-Xiangtan UHV DC project long-term power transmission and reception cooperation agreement finalized

On December 6, the signing ceremony of the long-term power transmission and reception cooperation agreement for the Gansu Jiuquan to Hunan Xiangtan UHV DC project was held in Beijing. The signing of the tripartite cooperation agreement between State Grid Corporation of China and the governments of Gansu and Hunan is a positive action to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's new energy security strategy of "four revolutions and one cooperation", which will further improve the utilization efficiency of power transmission channels and better serve economic and social development.

Liu Baohua, member of the Party Leadership Group and deputy director of the National Energy Administration, pointed out that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, my country's energy development has continued to improve, with steady progress, continuous optimization of energy structure, and continuous improvement of development quality. As a key link in the allocation of power resources, the power grid plays an important role. The agreement signed this time will help to give full play to the important role of inter-provincial transmission channels in the optimal allocation of resources, promote the maximization of economic and social benefits of Gansu and Hunan provinces, and make the transmission channel further become a bond of friendship between the two provinces, a bridge for common development, and an artery for green transformation, so as to achieve win-win results and promote high-quality development of the power industry.

Song Liang, member of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee and Executive Vice Governor, said that the signing of this agreement will effectively improve the utilization efficiency of DC channels and bring greater space for the subsequent development of Gansu's new energy base. Gansu will earnestly implement the contents of the agreement, organize power generation companies in the province to supply sufficient power, actively promote power supply construction, and provide good coordination services.

Wu Guiying, Vice Governor of Hunan Province, said that this is a major measure to enhance Hunan's power security capabilities, achieve sustainable development, and promote the implementation of the national energy security strategy. Hunan will earnestly implement it, promote the construction of major power sources and grid structure peak-shaving capabilities for energy channels, improve the level of project operation and management, ensure channel utilization efficiency, and serve the high-quality development of the economy and society.

Xin Baoan, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of State Grid Corporation of China, introduced that the agreement signed this time is the first long-term power transmission and reception agreement signed by State Grid Corporation of China in the operation of UHV DC, which will help promote the construction of the power market and play the role of "ballast stone" of medium- and long-term transactions in inter-provincial power transmission. State Grid Corporation of China will ensure the implementation of the agreement, promote the role of Qi Shao DC channel, accelerate the construction of the Central China UHV AC ring network project, do a good job in connecting the supporting thermal power and new energy to the power grid at the sending end, increase the organization of transactions, promote the transformation of Gansu's energy resource advantages into economic advantages, and improve Hunan's power supply guarantee capabilities, so as to create a new situation of enriching the people and revitalizing Long, and accelerate the construction of a rich, beautiful and happy new Hunan.

It is reported that since the Qi Shao DC project was put into operation, it has effectively promoted the development and transmission of Gansu's energy base, improved the level of consumption of new energy such as wind power and solar power generation in the northwest, eased the contradiction between electricity supply and demand in Hunan Province, and provided strong guarantees for the central China region to fight the battle against air pollution.
