Ningxia 'Green Electricity Town' plan unveiled at COP29

On November 18, the "Green Electricity Town" plan submitted by State Grid Yinchuan Power Supply Company was selected into the case collection of "Accelerating Action, Increasing Contributions and Assisting Energy Green and Low-carbon Transformation Excellent Solutions" and released at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The conference was held in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22. Representatives from about 200 parties to the convention and climate experts gathered in Azerbaijan to urge countries around the world to jointly respond to climate change challenges and work together to build a greener, low-carbon and sustainable future.

The report "Accelerate Action, Increase Contribution: Excellent Solutions to Promote Green and Low-carbon Transformation of Energy" includes 6 solutions from the State Grid system to promote green and low-carbon transformation of energy. It promotes energy substitution and energy conservation and carbon reduction from both the supply and consumption sides of energy, covering the construction of zero-carbon industrial parks, low-carbon transformation of small and medium-sized industrial parks, island power supply, green energy to promote rural revitalization, green vehicles in the public sector, and eco-friendly power grid construction.

The "Green Power Town, a New Idea for Rural Revitalization" tells a story in which the State Grid Yinchuan Power Supply Company took Minning Town as a pilot, and built the town into a "green power town" with 100 percent supply of green electricity 24 hours a day through accurate calculation. Through this way, a new path for high-quality utilization of new energy was explored, and green energy was used to promote the coordinated advancement of rural revitalization and the "dual carbon" goals, providing reference for the solution of similar problems in other regions.

He Jijiang, executive deputy director of the Energy Transition Research Center of the School of Social Sciences of Tsinghua University, said after carefully reading this report that the power grid system has played a key role in the process of the "dual carbon" goal, and power grid companies have always been at the forefront of promoting the development of renewable energy.

In the next step, State Grid Yinchuan Power Supply Company will focus on the "Sai Shang Green Power" brand of State Grid Ningxia Power, continue to fulfill due social responsibilities, promoting clean and low-carbon transformation and development.
