Xinjiang powers ahead as nation's energy distributor
Advances in green technology, improved electricity transmission infrastructure help region achieve goals
In 2024, the power transmission volume of the project reached 68.3 billion kWh, accounting for approximately half of Xinjiang's total annual power transmission.
It has ranked first among all ultrahigh-voltage projects in China for four consecutive years.
"The station delivery in 2024 is equivalent to 21.27 percent of Anhui's total power consumption in 2023 and 76 days' worth of the province's power demand," said Wang.
The 38-year-old has been working in ultrahigh-voltage power transmission for 14 years and this is the third such project he has been involved in.
"During my career, I have witnessed China's power industry develop and progress. I want to work hard, solve problems and provide people with better power services," he said.
Since its commissioning, the Changji converter station has cumulatively transmitted 340.2 billion kWh of electricity.
"We are developing a new generation of adaptive control algorithms, which could reduce transmission losses from 5 percent to below 3 percent in the future," Wang added.
