The poet said: The sun is new every day.

For Zhang Jianguo, general manager of Xinjiang Qiangdu Jujube Co., Ltd., he has a deeper understanding of this sentence: "It is the State Grid that has created a new sun for the development of our enterprise." This is a company established in October 2009. The company has developed a 30,000-mu red jujube planting area in Washixia Township, Ruoqiang County, Bazhou, Xinjiang. Whenever an electric pump is used to pump water into the ground, the electricity required accounts for almost one-third of the county's electricity generation. In the event of a shortage of power supply, in order to ensure the living electricity of residents in the county, they are often the first customers to be restricted.

On December 27, 2011, when the Luntai-Tazhong-Qiemo-Ruoqiang power transmission and transformation project was completed and put into operation, the main power grid in Xinjiang was extended to Qiemo and Ruoqiang counties, and Zhang Jianguo no longer had to worry about power outages. Worried. "Thank you for the great support of State Grid." This is a banner that Zhang Jianguo specially arranged for staff to hang in front of the office building after Xinjiang's main power grid was connected to Ruoqiang County. He wanted to express his joy for the arrival of the large power grid and his gratitude to the power sector in this way.

"The Luntai-Tazhong-Qiemo-Ruoqiang power transmission and transformation project fully reflects the concept of 'people's livelihood first' and has significant comprehensive benefits. It not only provides a reliable power supply guarantee for oil and gas exploration and processing in the Tarim Basin, but also provides a national The two counties, Qiemo and Ruoqiang, which are the largest in the area, have the wings of economic take-off, sending warmth, light, and a beautiful vision of increasing income and wealth to the people of all ethnic groups in the two counties, so that the people of the two counties can share economic development. And the achievements of reform and opening up.” This is the objective summary of the significance of this project by Nur Bekri, Deputy Secretary of the Autonomous Region Party Committee and Chairman of the Autonomous Region.

In fact, the Luntai-Tazhong-Qiemo-Ruoqiang power transmission and transformation project is only a small microcosm of Xinjiang Electric Power Company's achievements in power grid construction at all levels in 2011. On February 8, 2012, when Wang Fenglei, general manager of Xinjiang company, made an objective and comprehensive summary of the power grid construction in 2011 at the "two sessions", the gratifying achievement made the whole venue applaud: the construction of the 750 kV backbone grid was further accelerated. , Turpan-Bayingoleng power transmission and transformation project and Phoenix-Wubei booster project were put into operation smoothly; three projects including Zhundong Wucaiwan, Phoenix substation expansion, and Haminan-Zhengzhou UHV DC transmission terminal were approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. ; Phoenix-Wusu-Ili power transmission and transformation project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. The construction of 220 kV and 110 kV projects was intensified, 109 projects were started, and 93 projects were put into production. The 220kV Yuli, Shawan, Jingyuan, Gongliu and other peak summer projects were put into operation on schedule, and the power supply capacity and reliability of the power grid were significantly improved. The quality rate of power transmission and transformation projects of 220 kV and above reached 81%, a record high.

As a leading industry and a basic industry, Xinjiang Electric Power Company wrote a bright spot in 2011 and achieved a good start in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan". 2012 is a year of opportunities and challenges for the development of Xinjiang Electric Power Company. In the first half of this year, the growth rate of power generation across the country dropped year-on-year. In June, there were 8 provinces and autonomous regions operating in the State Grid Corporation's operating area with negative growth in electricity sales. Compared with this, the maximum electricity load of Xinjiang power grid has set new historical records 23 times since April, and the maximum electricity consumption in a single day has also hit new highs repeatedly. Xinjiang Electric Power Company sold 31.963 billion kWh of electricity, a year-on-year increase of 38.64%, ranking first in the country. The tide of Xinjiang's leap-forward development has pushed the development of electric power to an unprecedented "forward", and the boosting and supporting role of electric power has also become the "key" in the economic and social development of the autonomous region.

In the face of Xinjiang's rapidly growing electricity demand, State Grid Corporation took advantage of its grouping advantages, innovated support measures, and increased its support to Xinjiang. In the four years after the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", the State Grid Corporation of China arranged 60.35 billion yuan in aid funds to support the construction of Xinjiang's power grid. Xinjiang Electric Power Company has planned ahead and accelerated the implementation of a number of key projects. This year, Xinjiang's power grid construction investment scale at all levels ranks second among all provinces and autonomous regions in the State Grid System. While strengthening the construction of the power grid, Xinjiang Electric Power Company took the initiative to provide power supply services, tracked the dynamics of key projects throughout the process, and ensured timely power supply; accelerated the speed of reporting, installation, and power-connection, and completed the capacity increase of 6,506,200 kVA for electrical installations, a year-on-year increase of 96%. %; vigorously implement the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids and power construction projects in areas without electricity. The annual investment scale exceeds 6 billion yuan, which can solve the electricity problem of 190,000 people without electricity. After completion, it will benefit more than 4 million farmers and herdsmen.
