[Jiangxi Shangrao power grid construction project started intensively]Recently, at the construction site of Xinyu 500 kV substation in Guangxin District, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, the 2023 power grid construction project in Shangrao City started intensively. The 20 major power grid construction projects, including the 500 kV Xinyu Substation, which were started this time, have a total investment of 2.82 billion yuan, a new substation capacity of 2.2467 million kVA, and a new line length of 1860.94 kilometers. Counties, cities, and districts will further strengthen the grid structure in Shangrao after it is put into operation to efficiently meet the demand for a sharp increase in load brought about by the economic and social development of Shangrao City. At that time, with 500 kV as the skeleton and 220 kV as the support, each A strong power grid with coordinated level grids and reliable power supply in urban and rural areas will appear on the land of eastern Jiangxi.
