Photovoltaic panels shine, fan blades rotate in the wind, UHV silver wires crisscross and crisscross, and the new energy power generation output data on the large screen of Qinghai Power Grid Dispatching and Control Center keeps beating …… A picture of green power surging and strong power grid is slowly spreading out on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
2026 is the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. Qinghai Power Grid began to depict a new picture: the 750 kV Songrugou Power Transmission and Transformation Project was pushed forward simultaneously with the erection of towers and lines, the 750 kV Ruoqiang-Antelope Line Project entered the physical construction stage from the preliminary preparation stage, and the pumped storage power station was transferred from the preparation stage to the construction stage of the main project.
The “Outline of the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for the People’s Republic of China National Economic and Social Development” proposes to focus on building a new power system, comprehensively improve the level of complementarity and safety and resilience of the power system, and optimize the national power flow and cross-region Channel layout, accelerate the construction of smart grids, improve urban and rural distribution networks, scientifically distribute pumped storage, and vigorously develop new energy storage.
The State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company closely follows the national strategic deployment, based on Qinghai’s clean energy endowment and location advantages, takes major projects as the starting point, takes scientific and technological innovation as the engine, and serves the people’s livelihood as the foundation, and makes every effort to promote the power grid Leapfrog development provides solid grid support for Qinghai to build a national clean energy industry highland.
On March 30, the cold wind was blowing in the deep Gobi of Golmud in Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and the machinery roared at the foundation construction site of Songrugou power transmission and transformation project. “The average altitude along the project is 2700 meters, and factors such as strong saline and corrosive land and dense crossing and crossing have increased the difficulty of construction. At present, the construction team has about 300 people trying their best to tackle the tough problems to ensure the progress of the project.” Qinghai electric power construction company owner project manager Ma Chaoshun introduction.
Songrugou Power Transmission and Transformation Project is another major energy artery to strengthen the power grid in western Qinghai, ensure the development of salt lake industry in Haixi Prefecture, and improve the power supply in Qaidam area. It can provide stable power support for the development of Golmud Zangqing Industrial Park and Kunlun Economic and Technological Development Zone.
in guinan county, Hainan Tibetan autonomous prefecture, the earthwork excavation operation of the upper reservoir of wow let pumped storage power station is fully promoted, with 29% of the total excavation planned to be completed within the year, and the dam filling progress will also be promoted to 35% simultaneously. The construction teams of each bid section cooperate closely to seize the golden period of construction, focus on key parts such as the “two holes” of Tongan tunnel and traffic tunnel, water diversion system, underground powerhouse, etc., and scientifically organize and cross-operate to ensure uninterrupted key construction.
State Grid Qinghai Electric Power continues to improve the transmission network channel, accelerate the construction of UHV projects and regional power grids, improve the power system regulation capacity, achieve efficient transmission of green power, accelerate the construction of new power systems, and promote energy transformation. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, Qinghai Power Grid completed a total investment of 41.54 billion billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.4 percent. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the investment is expected to exceed 90 billion billion yuan. Qinghai Power Grid will usher in the peak period of construction, doubling the scale of investment and the volume of the project.
At the beginning of the year, the hit TV series “Tree of Life” brought fire to Yushu, one of the filming places. The former remote plateau small town, now has a colorful night view. This is behind the Yushu power grid 330 kV double loop reliable power supply solid support. By the end of 2025, Qinghai Power Grid will be connected to 330 kV double-circuit power supply in all cities and states, 25 new county-level 110 kV substations will be added, the extension coverage rate of township power grids will reach 99%, and the power exchange capacity between 750 kV backbone power grids and northwest power grids will exceed 10 million kilowatts.
“The 15th Five-Year Plan is a critical period for the leapfrog development of Qinghai Power Grid. We take major projects as a starting point to build a solid foundation for the power grid, and take the construction of a new power grid platform and a new power system as the top priority for the high-quality development of the service area, so that the plateau green power can better support the realization of the ‘double carbon’ goal.” He Enjia, head of the Qinghai Electric Power Construction Department of the State Grid, said.
As the main battlefield for the construction of “West-to-East Power Transmission” and “Shage Wilderness” new energy bases, and the main carrier of new energy increments, the development of Qinghai Power Grid is facing new opportunities during the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” period. New mission.
During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, State Grid Qinghai Electric Power will continue to improve the coordinated power generation pattern of UHV, backbone network and distribution network, continuously enhance the power grid resource allocation capacity, improve the safe and stable operation level, strive to build a backbone network frame of “three horizontal, six vertical, cross three-dimensional and three-channel”, and build a new power grid platform with the cooperation of main network, distribution network and microgrid, the DC transmission and AC mutual aid capacity will be increased to 25.2 million kilowatts and 13 million kilowatts respectively, providing grid support for the large-scale development and utilization of new energy, greatly improving the power system regulation capacity and expanding the space for new energy consumption.
It is the core task of scientific and technological innovation of Qinghai Power Grid to deal with the complex grid form and improve the defense capability of the power grid. “With scientific and technological innovation as the core, we continue to tackle key problems in the fields of power grid security and stability, grid-type energy storage, and digital technology, and promote key research in 22 key research directions in 8 fields.” Yu Haiguo, director of the Qinghai Electric Power Science and Technology Department of the State Grid, introduced that during the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period, the company will use technological innovation to promote power grid construction, continue to deepen the coordinated development of source, network, and storage, and achieve the installed capacity of new energy storage, photothermal power stations, and pumped storage. The goals of 12 million kilowatts, 4 million kilowatts, and 3.1 million kilowatts.
Tidal Plateau, Electric Glory Kunlun. State Grid Qinghai Electric Power accelerates the construction of a new type of power system provincial demonstration zone, serves the construction of the national clean energy industry highland, and promotes the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” with practical achievements to make a good start and start, and provide more solid and reliable for striving to write the chapter of Chinese-style modernization in Qinghai Power guarantee.
