Welcome to State Grid Corporation of China

In Setting Strategy, We Pursue Resource Conservation and Environmental Friendliness

One of the important measures to serve an conservation and environment-friendly society is to accelerate construction of UHV power grids. It will change power grid development mode, optimize the resource allocation in the widest scope possible. The construction of UHV grids will reduce line loss and transmission lines, conserve land resource and save construction investment, promote intensive development of coal, hydro and nuclear power, improve the efficiency in energy exploiting and utilization. It can result in the best use of environmental capacity, and the least environmental pollution.

In Planning and Designing, We Emphasize Resource Conservation and Environmental Friendliness

The largest saving comes from scientific planning and designing. SGCC proposes the typical design options for substations and transmission lines based on the principle of "advanced technology, optimized design, unified standards and land saving". SGCC uses energy-saving power equipment such as Multi-circuit in One Tower, Compact Cables, Miniaturized Equipment and Amorphous-metal-core Transformer etc, actively advocates resource conserving new technologies, techniques, equipments and materials. SGCC is devoted to conserving precious land resource, decreasing grid loss, improving equipment that saves energy, water, land and material, so as to efficiently utilize resources. We also closely watch environmental protection while carrying out power scientific research, projects survey, planning and designing. We endeavor to choose the most appropriate path for transmission lines and substations sites, to mitigate impact on environment.

SGCC has done a lot to resolve and control HV-line-caused electromagnetic environment issues. It has carried out the study on the electromagnetic environment caused by 1000kV AC transmission and transformation facilities. We have proposed the baseline parameters for the above mentioned electromagnetic environment by referring to international research results as well as our own, for which we have obtained official approval from the National Environmental Protection Administration.

In Installation and Construction, We Seek Harmony between Human and Nature

SGCC will take concrete measures to minimize the impact of grid construction upon environment, and to exercise environmentfriendly construction approach based on the practical conditions of the site, including adopting advanced construction techniques,minimizing wood cut along construction path, reducing site excavation, cleaning away construction wastes and recovering plantation. In building forest crossing transmission lines, over-forest high tower approach will be used to reduce wood cut. In building lines tocross mountainous area, pole tower with all-dimension low and high supporting peg willbe used to reduce surface excavation, thus to mitigate impact on environment.

In Production and Operation, We Work for Higher Energy Efficiency and Benefits

SGCC will intensify its evaluation and management measures on reduction of power grid loss. We will compile and implement the SGCC's Three Year Program for Energy Conservation and Loss Reduction, reinforce metering and power consumption inspection. We will accelerate construction and renovation of power grid at various voltage levels,speed up retirement of aged and out-of-date equipment, to reduce remarkably the line loss and transformer loss. We will endeavor to increase the efficiency of generating units owned by SGCC or its subordinator, reduce bus bar power consumption and environmental pollution and raise the energy efficiency. In 2005, the line loss rate of SGCC was 0.36% lower than that of 2004, saved energy up to 5.27TWh, which is equivalent to annual power generation of a 1000MW thermal plant.

In Power Consumption, We Propose a Scientific, Economic and Efficient Way to Our User

	SGCC will enhance its Demand Side Management (DSM) by popularizing energy saving, load adjustment technology and piloting projects of DSM, optimizing power consumption mode, increasing efficiency of end users, and assisting the high energy-consuming industries, such as metallurgy, mining, petrochemical etc. to reduce their power consumption. We endeavored to widely spread energy-conserving knowledge and awareness, organized promotion activities such as "Demand Side Management of Power in China". We have printed and distributed more than 6 million handbooks and brochures on electricity conservation and carried out "three Ten Articles", directing and encouraging the whole society to use electricity scientifically and to save power.
	We put in place the national policy on energy conservation. We will strictly enforce market accessibility regulations and the compulsory standards of performance efficiency for high energy-consuming equipment, architecture, house hold electric appliances and lighting equipment etc. We will cooperate with related authorities to phase out technology, process and equipment that are high energy consuming and outdated. We will advocate putting investments to large-scale and energy-conserving projects, strongly promote application of advanced energy-conserving technology and products. We will assist the government to constitute laws, regulations and policies in encouraging energy conservation, promoting energy conservation and increasing energy utilizing efficiency.
	SGCC fully implements national policies on structural adjustment of industries and macro-economical control. We will strictly implement the tariff policies for peak and off peak tariff,wet-and dry-season tariff, seasonal tariff, interruptible tariff and differentiated tariff. We will depress power demand of heavy consumers, control the disorderly development of such industry.

In New Energy Application, We Support New Energy Exploitation and Energy Structural Optimization

SGCC will continue to actively implement Renewable Energy Law and national industrial policies. Careful study will be carried out, relevant policies and stipulations will be made to actively promote development of renewable and new energy such as wind power, small hydro-power, bio generation, solar-energy and geothermal energy etc.
