Shanghai Electric Launches Over RMB 3.1 Billion to Upgrade Low-Voltage Distribution Network Reliability

At 6 o'clock on the morning of the 14th, the promotion project for the low-voltage distribution network of Tianzifang, a famous fashion landmark in Shanghai, was launched. The reporter learned at the scene that, in order to minimize the impact on the residents’ lives, the power construction vehicles were preparing overnight, and the project construction was carried out in an orderly manner in the early morning.

With the economic and social development of the city and the transformation of the industrial pattern, the situation of local power shortage in some areas in Shanghai has become increasingly prominent. To this end, the Shanghai Electric Power Department invested 3.1 billion yuan to start the city's low-voltage distribution network reliability improvement project to fully improve the level of Shanghai's power protection.

Located on Taikang Road in Huangpu District, Shanghai, Tianzifang has become a hot spot for entertainment, catering, and leisure activities due to its Shikumen family community with rich Shanghai characteristics. Tourists gathered here, a large number of influx of businesses, leading to rising electricity load, electricity contradiction increasingly prominent.

Zhang Genfa, secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Electric Power City Company, who is currently directing the power construction site, said that “the 400 KW voltage transformer in the Tianzifang area cannot satisfy the power supply needs. To ensure the safety and stability of electricity in the Tianzifang area, electricity is The department will arrange for pole replacement projects to increase the capacity to 630 kVA."

After more than two hours of intense construction, the transformer of No. 12 pole of “Tian Zi Fang” successfully completed the exchange construction and realized power transmission.

Tianzifang project is a microcosm of Shanghai's low-voltage distribution network reliability improvement project. Shanghai Electric plans to complete the reconstruction of 9,387 Taiwan districts this year to improve the overall power supply capacity of Shanghai and ensure the safety of residents' electricity use.

According to statistics, at present, Shanghai has completed 6,415 stations for low-voltage distribution network reliability improvement projects. The project has achieved initial results. During the summer peak season, the phenomenon of low-voltage and distribution network failure has been effectively improved, and the number of reported failures has decreased compared with last year. Three percent.
