A power grid is a main base to transmit power and a digitalized grid is key to construction of digital China, Chuai Xiaoyong, deputy to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC), said during the annual sessions of the national top legislative and advisory bodies.
Chuai, also chairman of Guangxi Power Grid Co., Ltd., China Southern Power Grid (CSG)'s subsidiary in Southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said that China is pushing forward development of core technologies in industrial ecology and construction of a digital economy, society and government.
CSG launched the project of building a digital power grid in 2019. The project is intended to improve digitalization, intelligentization, networking and low-carbonization in the energy field through convergence of advanced digital technology and energy ecology.
The company is now able to build new-type energy networks with outstanding digital service and support construction of the digital economy and society.
Green and low-carbon transformation of energy has become a must-go path for governments at all levels to promote economic and social development.

Based on his survey, Chuai said that a digital grid is a key foundation of digital China construction.
CSG has completed connection of 13 e-government platforms and seven license platforms through its mobile phone application and 99 percent of power-related business of the company can be done online.
Meanwhile, the company has also released indicators of manufacturing and power business by networking the e-government platforms of South China's Guangdong and Hainan provinces, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao, as well as related parties in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area so as to support social governance and economic operation of their various governments.
Chuai suggested that construction of the digital grid should involve national policies and documents and the country should encourage building of national digital grid laboratories and launch new-type power system pilots and demonstration projects.
He added that a national innovation and industry consortium of digital power grids should be established and new-type digital infrastructure construction should be involved in a new national infrastructure plan.
He also stressed that application of a digital power grid in society and government affairs should be encouraged and an industrial big data energy governance system should be established to push forward sharing of energy and social data.
