By the end of September, China’s power grid companies had invested more than 600 billion yuan in fixed assets.

China News Service, Beijing, October 30 (Reporter Wang Mengyao) The reporter learned from the quarterly press conference held by the National Energy Administration of China on the 30th that the construction of China's new power grid is advancing in an orderly manner. As of the end of September, the fixed asset investment of power grid enterprises exceeded 600 billion yuan, completing two-thirds of the expected investment for the whole year.

Tan Hongjiang, deputy director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said at the press conference that since the launch of the new power grid construction and deployment, the "West-to-East Power Transmission" capability has continued to improve. The project from Shaanxi to Anhui has been put into operation this year, and a number of projects from southeastern Tibet to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are accelerating construction. A total of 25 UHV DC transmission channels have been built and in operation, with a transmission capacity of more than 340 million kilowatts.

He pointed out that the main grid of the power grid has been continuously improved, and the ultra-high voltage AC grid of the six regional power grids in North China, Central China and East China has basically been formed, and the remaining three regions have achieved effective coverage of the ultra-high voltage grid. The power supply guarantee capability and comprehensive carrying capacity of urban and rural distribution networks have been significantly improved. The world's largest charging network has been built, with more than 24 million charging facilities effectively meeting the charging needs of more than 51 million new energy vehicles.

It is reported that in the next step, the National Energy Administration will continue to strengthen the construction of new power grids with relevant departments and enterprises, optimize and improve the new grid structure, break through new grid technologies, improve the quality and upgrade of new grid services, and vigorously promote the implementation of key tasks and major projects.
