BEIJING, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- A new power transmission and transformation project began operations on November 30 in Minqing County of Fuzhou City, capital of southeast China's Fujian Province, to boost electricity supply reliability in the region's mountainous areas.
Constructed by the State Grid Minqing Power Supply Company, the 35-kilovolt (kV) project successfully completed equipment testing and is now fully operational.
The project is designed to optimize the local power grid structure. It features two new 6.3-megavolt-ampere (MVA) main transformers and multiple outgoing power lines, effectively integrating with the existing 110kV substation.
According to the company, the project has reduced the power supply radius in Shanglian Township from over 15 kilometers to approximately 7.5 kilometers. This upgrade significantly improves voltage stability and grid resilience against natural disasters, resolving long-standing issues of insufficient power supply in the remote area.
During the construction of the project, the project team overcame challenges including complex geological conditions and difficult transportation logistics during the rainy season. Comprehensive safety and performance inspections were conducted prior to commissioning to ensure the facility met all design and quality standards.
Looking ahead, the State Grid Minqing Power Supply Company said it will strengthen monitoring of the new facility and continue to upgrade rural power grids to support local development.
