        The Smart Grid Master Plan

        The “Problem-solving” -oriented smart grid master plan amendment was approved in 2019. The amendment was based on the power grid stability with 20% of renewable energy in 2025, taking into account the power supply quality, user services and other directions. Referencing the international trend of power grid development, updating grid real-time monitoring and equipment protection, and applying advanced technologies such as AI, big data, and telecom technologies, the goals of the smart grid master plan to ensure a stable supply of electricity and take into account energy security, green economy, and environmental sustainability, while implementing energy transformation can…

        Electricity Network Transformation Roadmap

        The electricity system supporting Australia’s modern economy and lifestyle is experiencing change on an unprecedented scale. The transformation is driven by customers as they embrace new technologies, take control of their energy use and support action on climate change. By 2050, it is estimated that customers or their agents - not utilities - will determine how over $200 billion in system expenditure is spent and millions of customer owned generators will supply 30-45% of Australia’s electricity needs.

        Electrification in three districts and three states and border villages

        The government completed the transformation and upgrading of rural power grids in China's "three districts and three states" and border villages. Over three years, the project involved 11 provinces and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, benefiting 25.42 million people. In the past three years, 35.7 billion yuan of central budget investment in the transformation of rural power grids had been invested in poor areas, of which 22.28 billion yuan was invested in the "three districts and three states" areas, accounting for 62.4 percent.

        Power grid upgrades

        In line with President Biden's commitment to modernize the national power grid and infrastructure, the Department of Energy announced the availability of USD 5 billion and USD 3.25 billion in loans, from its Loan Programs Office (LPO) and Western Area Power Administration's (WAPA) Transmission Infrastructure Program (TIP) respectively.

         

        This project will improve resilience and expand transmission capacity across the grid, as it prepares for a higher share of variable electricity generation from renewables.

        In order to regulate the grid-connection of newly-constructed power grid and guarantee that the newly-0constructed power grid is fairly connect to the grid without discrimination, the national energy administration has made this trail version of scheme. The supervision of the grid-connection of newly-constructed power grid includes the filing of the working policies of the grid-connection of newly-constructed power grid and regulation of construction situation and the related information disclosure. This scheme includes specific regulations on the range of supervision and regulation methods.
