Abstract : This year, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region plans to invest 63.3 billion yuan (9.2 billion U.S. dollars) in the construction of power infrastructure.

This year, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region plans to invest 63.3 billion yuan (9.2 billion U.S. dollars) in the construction of power infrastructure. The region will also spend 45.7 billion yuan (6.6 billion U.S. dollars) and 17.6 billion yuan (2.6 billion U.S. dollars) on thermal power projects and power grid projects respectively, Economic Information Daily reported on April 24.

The thermal power projects, with an investment totaling 50 billion yuan (7.3 billion yuan), will be located primarily in northern and eastern Xinjiang - areas with abundant coal resources.

According to Xinjiang Electric Power Company, the ±1,100 kv high-voltage direct-current transmission project from Changji in Xinjiang to Guquan in Anhui is a key project of 2017. It has a total investment of 2.88 billion yuan (418.7 million yuan).

In addition, as part of the implementation of the urban power network distribution project, Xinjiang will proceed with a new round of rural power grid upgrades, speed up the construction of a clean-energy heating demonstration project, and promote electric vehicle-charging infrastructure.
