[Explanation] As a basic element of production and life, electricity is the "barometer" of China's economic operation, a key part of the "six stability" and "six guarantees", and an important force for the service to build a new development pattern of "dual cycles".

  [Explanation] Recently, Chairman Mao Weiming of State Grid Corporation of China said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that from the power data, the company's monthly electricity sales have achieved positive growth since May, and the growth rate in August reached 9.8%. The cumulative electricity sales The growth rate is picking up month by month. The cumulative growth rate turned from negative to positive on September 2, and the annual growth rate is expected to be between 1.5-2%.

The basic trend of China's economic stability and long-term improvement has not and will not change.

Integrating and serving to build a new development pattern is not only a major responsibility of state-owned enterprises, but also an important opportunity.

  [Explanation] At present, China's first electric vehicle charging and swapping station integrating photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, data center, 5G base station, Beidou base station and other functions has been upgraded and put into use in Hefei, Anhui.

Mao Weiming said that State Grid must firmly grasp the strategic basis of expanding domestic demand, give full play to basic guarantees, innovation leadership, and industry leading role, accumulate basic forces for economic development, ensure the stability of the industrial and supply chain, and converge development advantages to create new opportunities.

It is expected that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, investment in power grids and related industries will exceed RMB 6 trillion.

  The State Grid is the world’s only super-large power grid that has not experienced a large-scale blackout in more than 20 years. We must continue to increase investment in infrastructure to move it toward a modern power grid that is safe, reliable, green and smart, interconnected, and mutually beneficial. development of.

  We must focus on UHV big data, charging piles and other major infrastructure construction.

  [Explanation] Mao Weiming said that State Grid recently held a company-wide technological innovation conference with more than 100,000 participants, fully implemented the "New Leapfrog Action Plan", increased investment in scientific and technological research and development, and fundamentally solved the problem of key core technologies being restricted by others. Ensure the safety and stability of China's power supply chain.
