The Last SHP Self-supply Region in Jingning of Zhejiang Integrated into National Power Grid

   ---On 3 December, it turned to be sunny after a few wet days, the electricians of Shawan Power Distribution and Supply Station of Jingning She Autonomous County drove to Wutongkeng Village of Wutong Town without delay, to undertake the renovations on the gauges, meter boxes and service wires. The implementation of work signified the beginning of the renovation and upgrade of SHP self-supply regions in Wutong Town.

   Following the Contract on Transfer of Wutong SHP Self-supply Town was signed on 27 November of this year, the last SHP self-supply region in Jingning She Autonomous County of Zhejiang Province was formally integrated into the administration of national power grid, and the related renovation and upgrade of power grid began correspondingly. Hearing the good news, a villager in Wutongkeng Village of Wutong Town who is called Lan Shengda said with great pleasure: "we were anxious as there was much power-off before, however, it appears that the sufficient power supply will be guaranteed from now on."

   In fact, the expectation of Lan Shengda is just that of all the villagers in the town. Wutong SHP Self-supply County has 11 administrative villages, under which, there are 60 natural villages, with a total population of 6000. Wutong Town is a national demonstration base for agriculture, science and technology, and moreover, it is well know as a "Town of Mushroom". Encouraged by the governmental policies on agriculture, the production of mushroom and jew's-ear has become one of the key industries of the town. In 2011, for only one year, 250,000 bags of mushroom and 400,000 bags of jew's-ear were produced in the town. However, for a long period, the power for Wutong Town was supplied by the town-owned SHP station, and due to lack of sufficient fund for regular maintenance, the equipment became aged with poor capacity of power supply and low reliability, and even with some security risks. Following the socio-economic development, the mode of SHP self-supply region could no longer meet the increasing electricity demand on living and production of local farmers.

   It is said that following the transfer of the self-supply region, a special fund of 3 million yuan will be invested by the power sector, and it is planned that before March 2013, the renovation on the gauges, meter boxes, service wires, drop wires, air switches, household protection in Wutong self-supply region, as well as the installation of electric information acquisition system will be completed. By the end of April, the renovation on 27 distribution networks in the region, including the improvement on the distributor boxes, low-voltage lines, electricity poles, etc. will be completed. By the end of May, the defects on equipment will rectified for the high-voltage lines and transformers in the region. By the end of June, the administrative system and the related date collecting system for the low and high voltage lines in the region will be set up so as to ensure the subsequent normal management.

   Meanwhile, more investment will be further put in the construction of power grid in Jingning, the only She Autonomous Region in China. During the twelfth Five-Year Plan period, the total investment in power grid in Jingning will reach 1300 million yuan, and it is expected that by 2015, an advanced and reliable Smart Grid will be established with the harmonious utilization and rational development of 220kV, 110kV, 35kV and other lower grades of voltage for Jingning Power Grid.
