Chinanews.com, Kashgar, Xinjiang, September 21 (Yan Wenlu, Fan Zengqin) Xinjiang is making every effort to promote the coal-to-electricity project in the southern region, hoping that when the new heating season comes, more people can reduce heating costs, improve heating conditions, and enjoy " "Electrified Xinjiang".
More than 10.5 billion yuan has been invested in supporting power grids for coal-to-electricity projects.

In 2019, Xinjiang proposed to give priority to the implementation of coal-to-electricity conversion in the three prefectures of southern Xinjiang (Kashgar region, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Hotan region) in rural areas with good power grid conditions and significant economic efficiency in three years (2019-2021) , Involving 24 counties (cities), 291 towns, 3101 villages, 892,000 households.
People in the above-mentioned areas have long relied on burning coal, straw, and fuelwood, which not only spends a lot of money but also pollutes the environment.
After coal is converted to electricity, electricity will replace coal, oil, natural gas, etc.
State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. stated that the coal-to-electricity project has invested more than 10.5 billion yuan in supporting power grids. It is expected that all "coal-to-electricity" supporting distribution network projects can be completed by the end of October.
The coal-to-electricity project also provides a reliable power guarantee for rural development.

In an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com on the 20th, Xu Li, secretary of the Party Committee of Mangxin Town, Yingjisha County, Kashgar Prefecture, said that the implementation of the coal-to-electricity project has reduced the heating costs of the people, while improving living conditions and quality of life.
The local coal resources are scarce, and the price is higher than the Xinjiang average.
"Coal prices average more than 800 yuan per ton, and the heating season is calculated based on 3 tons of coal per household, and the heating cost per villager is more than 2,400 yuan. After electricity is used for heating, it is calculated based on the autonomous region’s electric heating price standard of more than two cents. The family uses about 8,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity for a heating period, which is about 1,600 yuan, which reduces the economic burden of farmers."
The reporter saw that after the implementation of the "Coal to Electricity" project, farmers’ homes were equipped with two electric meters, one specifically to measure the electricity consumption of electric heating, and the other to measure the electricity consumption of other electrical equipment.
The reason for this is that the two implement different electricity prices.
Electric heating uses more than 0.2 yuan per kilowatt-hour, which is a preferential electricity price, which is equivalent to the power generation cost per kilowatt-hour in Xinjiang; under normal circumstances, it is more than 0.3 yuan per kilowatt-hour.
"The electric heating used in my home last year was convenient and relatively clean. In the past, when coal was used for heating, the yard and the room were easily soiled. The most important thing is that burning coal in the house is prone to gas poisoning. Now you don't have to worry about electricity." Mai Mai Te Tusun Mai Mai Te of Karabalangan Village, Mansing Town, adopted electric heating last year. When talking about the changes, he said, “Electric heating panels don’t take up space, they just need to be hung on the wall. "It is understood that the price of the electric heating plate is more than 900 yuan, and for some villagers who have financial difficulties, this cost is borne by the local government.
Xu Li believes that the coal-to-electricity project not only reduces the heating costs of rural people, protects the ecological environment, but also promotes the industrial development of Mangsin Town. There’s a problem with the electrical load."
In this regard, Abdurheman Maimatiming, the inheritor of the Uyghur national intangible cultural heritage Uyghur mold-making clay pottery technique in Qakrikuyi Village, Manshin Town, has the deepest feelings. “After the power is guaranteed , The electric kiln was introduced from Jiangxi. Compared with the previous earth kiln, the temperature of the electric kiln is more stable, reducing manpower, reducing costs, and solving the phenomenon of cracks in earthenware products to a large extent." Abduk Remu The reporter told the reporter that the production process of clay pottery after the electric kiln not only reduces labor time loss, but also improves the quality and quantity of clay pottery products.
State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. has worked hard to take various measures to complete the "coal-to-electricity" project.
According to Ding Hongbin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yingjisha County Power Supply Company of State Grid Xinjiang Electric Power Co., Ltd., more than 20,000 households in the county have realized coal power reform in the past two years.
Li Baopeng, deputy manager of the urban power supply center of the Kashgar Power Supply Company, said: "The line transformation has been completed. This year, more than 6,000 households can be converted from coal to electricity."
At the site of a 110kV substation 10kv supporting power transmission project in Langan Township, Shufu County, the project leader Liu Qi said that this project can solve the electricity demand of the county's new 7,000 "coal-to-electricity" users.
Since April, more than 30 of them have been working here and working overtime to advance. Because it is in the Gobi area, although the construction period encountered difficulties such as pit foundation excavation and filling, wind and sand, etc., they are confident that the project will be completed as scheduled on September 30.
It is understood that Xinjiang is also planning to implement the second phase of the coal-to-electricity project in the "14th Five-Year Plan". The scope of implementation will be expanded from the current three prefectures to the eligible counties and cities in Aksu, Bazhou, Turpan, and southern Hami, involving a total of 1 million households. resident.
