Take multiple measures to contribute to the national grid to win the epidemic prevention and control war
The epidemic is the order, and prevention and control are the responsibility. After the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, in order to help win the people’s war and resistance war for epidemic prevention and control, State Grid Corporation of China acted quickly and immediately released 10 measures to support epidemic prevention and control and power supply service guarantee, including an early donation of 50 million to Hubei RMB 60.28 million was donated in physical assets to fully promote the construction of power supply facilities for newly-added designated hospitals for epidemic prevention and control. Subsequently, 12 measures were introduced to deal with the impact of the epidemic, fully resume construction, and promote the resumption of work and production of enterprises, and actively use major power grid projects as the fulcrum for the industry to resume work and production.
As of February 28, five UHV transmission and transformation projects including ±800 kV Qinghai-Henan, Shaanbei-Hubei UHV DC transmission project, 1000 kV UHV AC project Soochow (Suzhou) main transformer expansion project, Nearly 1,900 power infrastructure projects with a total investment of over 100 billion yuan represented by Zhangbei Flexible DC Project and Shanxi Yuanqu Pumped-storage Power Plant Project have started and resumed work one after another, stabilizing confidence in the development of the industry and giving full play to the state-owned enterprises’ The important role of “power”.
China Electric Power News:
What kind of strong support does the corresponding measures introduced by the State Grid Corporation of China provide for winning the battle against the epidemic?
State Grid Energy Research Institute Grid Development Comprehensive Research Institute expert: We believe that the first is to buy precious time for the smooth advancement of epidemic prevention and treatment work. "Lighting up the Thunder Mountain in 3 days, and lighting up the Vulcan Mountain in 5 days", showing the "State Grid Speed" and "State Grid Responsibility" in the race against life; 22 cities in 11 cities including Wuhan, Hubei and Jingzhou were quickly completed The power supporting construction and transformation tasks of the epidemic prevention hospital include laying 19.8 kilometers of cables and installing 50 box-type transformers, providing reliable power guarantee for designated hospitals, shelter hospitals and other important places.
Secondly, it is to fully undertake the power grid construction required for the production enterprises of epidemic prevention materials to expand their production capacity. Among the 12 measures to respond to the impact of the epidemic, fully resume construction, and promote the resumption of work and production of enterprises, there are implementation of the "Three Zeros" service for epidemic prevention and control material production enterprises; there are new enterprises that need to expand the production of epidemic prevention and control material The electricity demand of capacity enterprises will open up a green channel for electricity production, and implement the “three zero” services with zero door-to-door, zero approval and zero investment. All units of the State Grid Corporation of China quickly implemented various requirements, and made every effort to ensure the electricity demand of enterprises producing epidemic prevention and control materials. The Xinjiang Electric Power Company of State Grid alone increased the capacity of 30 epidemic prevention and control material production enterprises with a cumulative capacity of 2,965 kVA. As we all know, major power grid projects have the characteristics of large scale of investment, long industrial chain, and many employees, which can effectively drive the development of upstream and downstream enterprises such as power supply, electrical equipment, and raw materials, and will play an important role in stabilizing growth, adjusting structure, and benefiting people’s livelihood. . While the State Grid Corporation of China is fully organizing the prevention and control of the epidemic, it has arranged a number of major power grid projects such as UHV and pumped storage power stations to start and resume work in advance to help enterprises resume work and production. It is worth mentioning that the bidding and procurement of related materials in 2020 began on February 11, effectively driving upstream and downstream enterprises to resume work and production. In February, 28 bid evaluation projects were completed, with a procurement scale of approximately 19.642 billion yuan; another 23 bidding announcement projects are planned to be released in March. The promotion of these projects is of great significance for stabilizing employment, stabilizing finance, stabilizing foreign trade, stabilizing foreign investment, stabilizing investment, stabilizing expectations, and supporting macroeconomic growth.
Precise efforts to promote high-quality development of the national economy through power grid investment
Based on the advantages of the power grid as a major national infrastructure, State Grid Corporation of China, through active and steady investment, effectively promotes the shared development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, promotes the low-carbon transformation of energy development, supports the effective implementation of national strategies, and promotes the high-quality development of the national economy.
The Yuanqu pumped storage power station project in Shanxi, which started on February 18, has a total investment of 7.96 billion yuan, which will increase the output value of the power generation equipment manufacturing industry by about 2 billion yuan. The average annual increase in local fiscal revenue during the construction period and operation period is about 150 million yuan. 110 million yuan. The northern Shaanxi-Hubei ±800 kV UHV DC project started on February 28, with a total investment of about 18.5 billion yuan. The project construction will directly drive the equipment production scale of about 12 billion yuan, increase more than 40,000 jobs, and drive related power supplies. The industry investment exceeds 70 billion yuan, and the industry's pulling effect is very significant. According to estimates, power grid companies can boost the national economic growth by about 0.5% and provide more than 700,000 jobs through a power grid investment of about 450 billion yuan.

The industry generally believes that investment in the power grid can boost the high-quality development of the national economy. So what are the specific aspects?
State Grid Energy Research Institute, an expert from the Grid Development Comprehensive Research Institute: In our opinion, it is reflected in the following three aspects.
One is to leverage the power grid investment to drive the shared development of upstream and downstream enterprises. As an important weight affecting power manufacturing investment, power grid infrastructure investment is conducive to stimulating sustained, stable and high-quality investment in the physical sector, maintaining the competitive advantage of the manufacturing industry, and consolidating the foundation for the stable development of the national economy. The second is to give full play to the “green” nature of the power grid to serve the low-carbon transition of energy development. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee pointed out that my country will advance the energy revolution and build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. The power grid is a key platform for the optimal allocation of clean energy, and investment in key cross-regional transmission channels is conducive to accelerating the pace of my country's energy low-carbon transition. The northern Shaanxi-Hubei project, which is under construction in the near future, will cooperate with the existing UHV projects in Central China, which can give full play to the advantages of large capacity, long-distance, and low loss of UHV grids. While optimizing the local power supply structure, it will directly send power to the energy base in northern Shaanxi. The Hubei Load Center delivers 40 billion kWh of electricity annually, which is equivalent to replacing 18 million tons of raw coal at the receiving end and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 29.6 million tons; the Zhangbei-Xiongan UHV AC project will effectively guarantee the consumption of clean energy such as wind power and solar energy in Zhangbei In addition, the annual carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by more than 20 million tons; the Yazhong-Jiangxi UHV DC project will effectively guarantee the consumption of hydropower in the western region and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 40 million tons per year. The construction of these power grid projects will strongly support the clean and low-carbon development needs of the central and eastern regions. The third is to serve the key points of economic and social development and support the effective implementation of national strategies. The power grid construction will continue to play a supporting role in the national strategy. For example, to serve the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, actively promote the construction of three categories and 58 Beijing Winter Olympics power supply guarantee projects, promote the establishment of a "dual loop + dual radiation" grid structure in Chongli area, and ensure reliable power supply for the Winter Olympics venues Serving the construction of the "Millennium Plan" city in Xiongan New Area, creating an international green power grid that is "green, low-carbon, smart, efficient, friendly and convenient, strong and reliable"; helping the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and promoting electric power in the Yangtze River Delta Green Ecological Integration Demonstration Zone Integration, to achieve cross-provincial power grid "mutual assistance, interconnection, mutual supply and mutual backup", in September 2019, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were put into operation in Qingpu-Wujiang, Qingpu-Jiashan two 10kV interconnection projects, The interconnection of the distribution networks of the three provinces and cities has been realized. In December 2019, the 220kV Wufeng Mountain Yangtze River Reconstruction Project in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province was completed, which effectively improved the interconnection and complementarity of power grids on both sides of the Yangtze River, and provided strong support for the integrated development of power in the Yangtze River Delta.
Be responsible for building a well-off society through power grid investment
2020 is the final year of the "13th Five-Year Plan", and it is also the year of decisive victory for my country to build a moderately prosperous society and achieve the first centenary goal. Poverty alleviation is a key issue for building a well-off society. The State Grid Corporation of China has long used power grid investment as the driving force to improve the universal power service capabilities in old revolutionary areas, ethnic areas, border areas, and poverty-stricken areas to serve China’s goal of building a well-off society. The realization.
The "three districts and two states" area is a national contiguous and deeply impoverished area within the operating area of the State Grid Corporation of China, with poor grid infrastructure and weak foundation. Since 2018, the State Grid Corporation of China has invested 26.8 billion yuan in the "three regions and two prefectures" in deeply impoverished areas to improve the power supply capacity of power grid infrastructure, and completed the task of power grids in Tibetan areas of Gansu, Linxia prefecture and southern Xinjiang ahead of schedule. Among them, the "coal-to-electricity" supporting power grid projects in the four prefectures of southern Xinjiang benefited 224 townships, 1,205 villages, and 316,000 residents.

In the fight for poverty alleviation through power grid investment, how does the State Grid Corporation of China not only promote the transformation of regional energy advantages, but also help improve the livelihood of poor areas?
State Grid Energy Research Institute Expert of Grid Development Comprehensive Research Institute: As we all know, China’s energy resource endowment and power load centers are distributed in reverse. The western and northern regions are rich in resources such as coal, hydropower, wind power, and solar energy. Energy resource advantages are transformed into economic advantages. Xinjiang is rich in coal resources, but because it is far from the mainland market, transportation costs are high. Through the construction of UHV DC transmission projects, the State Grid Corporation of China has promoted the export of coal and electricity in Xinjiang and ensured sustained and rapid economic growth in Xinjiang. In September 2019, the ±1100 kV Zhundong-South Anhui UHV DC project was put into operation, adding 12 million kilowatts of power transmission capacity from Xinjiang, with an annual power transmission capacity of 60 to 85 billion kilowatt hours, which will effectively alleviate the The long-term contradiction between power supply and demand, and at the same time, promotes Xinjiang to transform local resource advantages into economic advantages, which will drive regional economic growth by about 13 billion yuan each year and increase tax revenue by about 2.4 billion yuan.
The improvement of people's livelihood in poor areas is mainly due to the active implementation of the construction of power grids and photovoltaic poverty alleviation for poverty alleviation and relocation. These measures have enhanced the sense of gain and happiness of the people in poor areas. From the data point of view, since 2016, a total of 4.24 billion yuan has been invested in the construction of power distribution grids for poverty alleviation and relocation, covering 10,300 centralized resettlement sites, and ensuring stable power consumption for 2,788,800 people; since 2015, a total of supporting grids for photovoltaic poverty alleviation have been completed The investment of 4.037 billion yuan will be connected to the photovoltaic poverty alleviation project of 20,470,700 kilowatts, benefiting 2,884,300 poor households.
