The 750-kilovatt Jinta Power Transmission and Transformation Project, located in Jiuquan, Gansu Province, has begun operations, laying a solid foundation for integrating and transmitting electricity from the region’s large-scale renewable energy bases.
Managed by State Grid Gansu Electric Power Company, the project is one of China’s first supporting transmission projects for large-scale wind and solar bases in the Gobi desert area and a key provincial energy initiative under Gansu’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Its commissioning will further facilitate the grid connection of renewable energy projects, including the 500 MW new energy and the 700 MW solar-thermal power and photovoltaic projects in Jiayuguan and Jiuquan, while strengthening the 750 kV power grid in Northwest China.
The Jinta project originates from the 750 kV Jiuquan Substation and terminates at the newly constructed 750 kV Dingxin Substation. Construction began in October 2023.
State Grid Gansu Electric Power Company has integrated smart construction with green practices. Leveraging 3D digital design for visualized project management, the company has pioneered the application of smart lighting systems and remote digital monitoring, establishing an intelligent management system covering equipment maintenance, environmental monitoring and energy efficiency control.
