On June 24, the 750 kV Shache Hetian power transmission and transformation project in Xinjiang, which lasted more than two years, was completed and put into operation. The 750 kV power grid extended to Hotan area, the southernmost part of Xinjiang, for the first time. This marks the completion and operation of the 750 kV power grid extension and reinforcement project in southern Xinjiang. So far, the 750 kV power grid has covered all the four prefectures in southern Xinjiang, providing strong power guarantee for winning the battle against poverty and optimizing the heating structure, and effectively promoting the development and consumption of 10 million kilowatt class photovoltaic new energy in southern Xinjiang.

One belt, one road, the 750 thousand central power network, is the key to the interconnection of the power grid infrastructure and the economic and social and environmental benefits. The project is an extension of the project of the Xinjiang power grid. The project is the important measure to serve the "one belt and one road" construction of the State Grid, implement the spirit of the second central Forum on work and promote interconnection and interconnection of the power grid infrastructure.
The operation of the project can change the situation of relatively backward power grid construction in southern Xinjiang, enhance the reliability of power supply in southern Xinjiang, and is of great significance to help poverty alleviation, optimize investment environment, attract enterprises to settle down and promote local economic development.
The 750 kV power grid extension and reinforcement project in southern Xinjiang can effectively improve the power supply capacity of Aksu region, Kashgar region, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture and Hotan region, directly stimulate the fixed assets investment of 51.8 billion yuan and increase about 2800 jobs; the new clean energy power generation capacity is equivalent to saving 3.13 million tons of raw coal consumption and realizing the annual industrial added value of 10 billion yuan, benefiting Tarim Millions of people in the basin. In particular, the off grid capacity of Hotan power grid will increase from 240000 kW to 450000 kW, and the power supply capacity will increase by nearly 87%.
In addition, the project will provide strong power guarantee for the "coal to electricity" (phase I) supporting power grid project in four prefectures of Southern Xinjiang. The "coal to electricity" (phase I) supporting power grid project launched in March this year in four prefectures of Southern Xinjiang will help 316000 households in 1049 villages in 211 towns realize clean heating in winter.
The project was started on May 12, 2017, with a total investment of 3.6 billion yuan. It is composed of Bachu Shache, Shache Hetian and Kashgar Shache 750kV power transmission and transformation and supporting projects. The total length of the line is 726km, crossing the Taklimakan Desert, crossing the Yarkand River, tizinam River, karakashi River and other rivers.
The extension and reinforcement project of 750 kV power grid in southern Xinjiang is a moral project and popular support project to send the warmth and care of the party to the people of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. All along, the Party committee of Xinjiang Autonomous Region and the Party group of State Grid Corporation of China have attached great importance to speeding up the construction of power grid in southern Xinjiang. As the construction management unit of the project, State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. strictly controls the construction safety, strengthens the organization and coordination, implements the standardized management to all aspects of the project construction, focuses on the implementation of the project safety, quality, technology, cost and other management requirements, strictly implements the environmental protection and water conservation scheme, increases the publicity, supervision and inspection of environmental protection and water conservation sensitive areas, and promotes the construction efficiently Project construction to ensure the high quality operation of the project.
