On January 16th, it was learned from the 2016 work conference of State Grid Corporation of China that the company plans to invest 439 billion yuan in power grid construction in 2016.

In 2016, State Grid planned to start construction on 76000 kilometers of 110 (6) kV and above transmission lines, with a substation (converter) capacity of 550 million kVA (kilowatts). Production of 47000 kilometers of 110 (66) kV and above transmission lines, as well as substations (swapping)

The current capacity is 310 million kilovolt amperes (kilowatts). State Grid Corporation of China will deepen the research on power grid planning, accelerate the promotion of the "Five AC and Eight DC" ultra-high voltage project, strive for the approval of the "Three AC and Three DC" project in the first half of the year and the "Two AC and Four DC" project in the second half of the year, accelerate the construction of the Zhundong Wannan DC project, and put the "Four AC and Five DC" project into operation within the year. We need to improve the 750 kV main grid structure in the northwest, accelerate the construction of back-to-back DC projects in the Chongqing region, and strengthen engineering design, quality, process, and cost management to ensure the 110 kV and

All the new projects mentioned above have been completed as high-quality projects. The construction of power distribution networks and smart grids will usher in a new climax. In 2016, State Grid Corporation of China proposed to accelerate the upgrading of rural power grid construction projects, effectively solving problems such as low voltage, bottleneck, and insufficient power supply in rural power grids. It is required to fully complete the 2015 national new central and local agricultural power grid projects in the first half of the year, complete the new rural power grid and urban distribution network projects in eastern provinces (cities) within the year, launch a batch of smart distribution network demonstration projects, strengthen the upgrading and transformation of old star counting devices, install 60.58 million new smart energy meters, and promote the integration of electricity, water, gas, and heat "four meters" collection.

In 2016, the State Grid Corporation of China will actively promote the construction of the global energy Internet, develop the role of the global energy Internet cooperation organization in combination with the implementation of the "the Belt and Road" construction, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with international organizations, energy enterprises, research institutions, etc,. We will study and promote networking projects in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and China Europe, and accelerate the construction of China's energy Internet during the "13th Five Year Plan" period to comprehensively improve the safe operation level of the power grid. In addition, the State Grid Corporation of China will spare no effort to fight poverty. In 2016, we plan to complete 13000 natural villages without power supply, and 27000 natural villages with power supply transformation projects to meet the needs of poverty alleviation photovoltaic power stations connected to the grid. We will build a centralized photovoltaic power station project in five counties (districts) designated for poverty alleviation. We will strengthen process management, achieve targeted poverty alleviation, and make positive contributions to the fight against poverty.
