China, Xinijang: A 220 kV power transmission line project started operation recently in Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region to help electricity demand for one of the region’s eight major industrial programs. Through the newly built line, power will be sent to a local 550000-ton electrolytic aluminium program, set to generate an annual power consumption of around 7.5 billion kWh.
The line is an effort of Xinjiang-located State Grid Changji Electric Power Supply Co., which oversees the power supply to the line, to optimize power management for energy-intensive industries such as aluminium production for efficient energy use that is considered essential amid companies’ green transformation. The company said that it will step up efforts to guide clients in energy-intensive sectors like steel, coal-fired power, and chemicals, to opt for green energy solutions to contribute to the region’s decarbonization goals.
