BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- State Grid Chongqing Electric Power Company has been committed to empowering the development of glass industry in Qingping County, Chongqing City, in southwest China.
The power provider has taken measures to promote the upgrade of local glass industry. Since 2022, it has invested 10.48 million yuan (about 1.45 million U.S. dollars) to upgrade local power grid. The company also works to improve power business environment by building smart service system, providing online and high-tech inspection, and optimizing power use arrangement, so as to reduce both time and cost for enterprises.
Thanks to the company's efforts, the development of local glass industry has been accelerated, with 71 glass manufacturers producing over 600,000 tonnes of daily-use glass products annually. The products, spanning ten series of more than 2,500 types, have been sold well at home and beyond, including the United States and many countries and regions in Europe.
The history of Qingping County's glass manufacturing dates back to the beginning of 20th century. In the past, glass was made there manually with traditional techniques. Having developed for hundreds of years, the small workshops have built themselves into modern enterprises.
