What is China Southern power grid?

China Southern Power Grid (“Southern Grid”) is one of China’s two major state-owned power distributors that serve five southern provinces: Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou and Hainan. The region has witnessed a rapid build-up of power generation capacity, from 275 GW in 2015 to 350 GW in 2020.

Can China decarbonize the southern power grid by 2060?

Decarbonization of the Southern Power Grid in China is feasible by 2060 but requires converting a large cropland area to support solar and wind energy; expansion of hydropower will impact the transboundary rivers according to a power system optimization model set up for 2020–2060.

Which river basins feed the China Southern power grid (CSPG)?

b The map illustrates the river basins whose hydropower dams feed the China Southern Power Grid (CSPG). These basins are the Mekong, Nujiang, and Red (transboundary) and the Yangtze, Pearl, Qionglei and Southeast Guangxi Coastal river basins (QSGCRB). All riparian countries in which the transboundary basins ow are shown on the map.

Why is energy transition a pressing issue for the power sector?

As a result, the need for energy transition and to absorb more non-fossil “clean energy”, which includes nuclear, hydro and renewable energy in a more liberalised and integrated power market has become a pressing issue for the power sector.

How to emancipate the grid from reliance on coal?

To emancipate the grid from its reliance on coal and achieve carbon neutrality, radical changes to the generation and transmission facilities are planned. This includes the expansion of solar and wind plants, as well as a massive expansion of the hydropower fleet that will add more than 32 GW of installed hydropower capacity.

How did CSG improve the power grid?

During “the 11th Five-year” period, CSG enhanced urban and rural power grid construction and transformation, facilitated the rapid development of the main grid network, distribution network, and rural power grid. The total investment in grid construction added up to RMB 302.3 billion, 2.3 times that of “the 10th Five-year” period.
