Xinhua Silk Road: China state-owned grid firm's Jiangsu branch explores new path to boost local low carbon development
BEIJING, May 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China's 
state-owned grid operator, helped the east China-located coastal province - 
Jiangsu incubate a new and green type of power system to facilitate the 
province's low carbon economic development.

The company, affiliated to state-owned State Grid Corporation of China, 
released in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu on Tuesday a blue paper named clean 
energy enabling fantastic Jiangsu to share with the world its practices, 
experience and achievements in exploring the new type of power system for green 
development.

Jiangsu, as a key zone with enormous potential for carbon emission reduction in 
China, has been one of the earliest runners in the country to develop clean 
energy such as PV and wind power and in the meantime encountered troubles in 
local power grid stability and control due to complicated power supply 
composition including the high proportion of new energy and external power 
supply in total provincial power supply.

To solve these issues, State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power enhanced linkage among 
power source, power grid, grid load and power storage and focused on strong 
smart grid construction in facilitating establishment of a green power system 
and propelling green development in Jiangsu, said Li Jijun, deputy head of 
Think Tank for Economics Affairs of China Economic Information Service (CEIS) 
on the releasing meeting of the blue paper.

The company also poured efforts into de-carbonization of energy supply, 
optimization of clean energy distribution platforms and promotion of clean 
energy consumption to further speed up building the new energy-dominated new 
power system in Jiangsu.

By the end of 2020, total installed electricity generation capacity of new 
energy in Jiangsu amounted to 34.96 million kilowatts, up 369.9 percent from 
the end of 2015. Last year, the province saw annual power generation of 52.2 
billion kilowatt hours by new energy, equivalent to reduction of around 15 
million tonnes of coal consumption and carbon emission of 48 million tonnes. 

New energy, which was once a complementary energy source for the province, now 
serves as an alternative energy source with multiple types, giant output size 
and broad application and distribution in Jiangsu.
