Two substations require 95 high-voltage switchgear units! Xiong'an New Area's first power equipment tender of 2019 has begun.

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China included the high-starting-point planning and high-standard construction of the Xiong'an New Area in its report. 2018-2020 was the period of large-scale concentrated construction of the Xiong'an New Area. The "Planning Outline for the Hebei Xiong'an New Area" proposed enhancing regional power supply and constructing a regional ultra-high voltage power grid. This included upgrading existing substations and building new 500kV and 220kV substations. The plan also actively introduced wind and solar power, among other renewable energy sources, as important sources of power supply for the new area. The new area's power supply reliability rate reached 99.999%.

The planning and construction of the Xiong'an New Area will highlight seven key tasks: First, constructing a green and smart new city, building a world-class, green, modern, and smart city; second, creating a beautiful ecological environment, building an ecological city with a blend of blue and green, fresh and bright, and water and city integration; third, developing high-end and high-tech industries, actively attracting and accumulating innovative resources, and cultivating new growth engines; fourth, providing high-quality public services, constructing high-quality public facilities, and creating a new model for urban management; fifth, constructing a quick and efficient transportation network, creating a green transportation system; sixth, promoting institutional and mechanism reforms, playing a decisive role of the market in resource allocation and better playing the role of the government, stimulating market vitality; and seventh, expanding all-round opening to the outside world, creating a new highland for expanding opening and a new platform for external cooperation.

Therefore, the development of the Xiong'an New Area presents an unprecedented historical opportunity for enterprises and power grid development.

According to media reports, Wang Hongzhi, former director of the Development Planning Department of the State Grid Corporation, previously introduced that the high-level positioning of the Xiong'an New Area puts forward five requirements for the power grid's support: First, to ensure reliable power supply for high-end and high-tech industries, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of ultra-high voltage power grids, build a strong main grid framework, strengthen the distribution network construction, and improve power supply capacity and quality; second, to build a green and smart new city, it is necessary to widely apply communication and information technology, actively absorb clean energy and renewable energy, and build a world-class green and intelligent power grid; third, to create a beautiful ecological environment, it is necessary to build a green and low-carbon energy consumption system, increase the proportion of electricity in terminal energy consumption, and improve energy efficiency; fourth, to provide high-quality public services, it is necessary to establish a modern power supply service system, achieving friendly interaction and thoughtful service between the power grid and users; and fifth, to support the green transportation system, it is necessary to accelerate the construction of supporting power grids for electric vehicles, high-speed railways, and urban rail transit, and build a vehicle networking platform to ensure the energy consumption of green transportation.

Among them, supplementing and improving the main grid construction of the Xiong'an New Area and ensuring the power support for the construction of the Xiong'an New Area are particularly important.

Recently, according to information obtained by Northern Star Transmission and Distribution Network, the first tender for substation equipment in Xiong'an New Area in 2019 has been launched. The materials involved in this tender are mainly used for the construction of the Rongdong (Jucun) 220kV substation and Hexi 110kV substation projects. The tendered materials mainly involve high-voltage switchgear, transformers, and combination electrical appliances.
