---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. (2012-12-24)
