The long wind from northern Xinjiang brushes over the Kubuqi Desert, turning into a brilliant light that illuminates the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region. The construction of the 500 kV transmission line project from Mengxi to Shagehuang in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region has started. This energy artery will open up a new path for green power transmission, laying a solid foundation for the construction of the country's new power system.

Build a new artery for transmitting electricity from the west to the east

The Inner Mongolia Electric Power Group's 500 kV transmission line project from Mengxi to Shagehuang in Beijing Tianjin Hebei has started construction in Dalate Banner, Ordos City. This project belongs to the national key supporting project of West East Power Transmission, and is also a benchmark project for optimizing the ultra-high voltage power grid architecture and opening up new energy transmission channels in Mengxi. The project plans to build 10 new 500 kV transmission lines with a total length of 387 kilometers. The implementation area is located in Dalat Banner.

After the completion of the project, large-scale clean electricity from the Kubuqi Desert will be centrally stored, which can directly deliver 12 million kilowatts of new energy electricity to the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, providing a stable grid guarantee for the direct current transmission project from western Mongolia to the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, implementing the national two point three channel energy layout, and assisting in the construction of Inner Mongolia's national important energy and strategic resource base. Faced with the complex construction conditions and various restrictions along the route, the construction unit has established a special working group to coordinate on-site surveys, plan adjustments, and various construction resource allocation to ensure the high standard implementation of the project.

Building a solid foundation for diversified energy supply

Mengxi is an important coal production area in China, with coal reserves exceeding 65 billion tons and a total coal production capacity exceeding 1.1 billion tons per year by the end of the 14th Five Year Plan period; The core area of Ordos accounts for about one-fifth of the country's raw coal output, and the proportion of intelligent coal mine production capacity has reached 87%. The coal export transportation system is continuously improving.

Entering the 15th Five Year Plan period, the local government will orderly promote the development of five major integrated mining areas, including Xinjie Taige Temple, to promote the upgrading of the coal industry towards intelligence and green direction, extend the coal chemical industry chain, and build a solid foundation for diversified energy supply industries. The coordinated development of coal-fired power and new energy provides stable and reliable power support for external transmission channels, and also lays a solid foundation for the transformation of regional energy structure.

Build a green and high-quality demonstration project

The subsequent construction unit will focus on tackling difficult tasks such as land acquisition coordination and route planning, strengthen safety and quality control, and make every effort to create a green and high-quality demonstration project. After the completion of the project, it will further open up the integrated transmission channel of coal-fired and new energy in Mengxi, improve the level of clean power guarantee in North China, and provide strong support for safeguarding national energy security, building a new power system, and promoting social green and low-carbon transformation. From Shahai to Beijing and Tianjin, this energy artery will continuously deliver green kinetic energy, writing a new chapter in the high-quality development of energy in northern Xinjiang.Editor/Gong Ziwei
