At the recently concluded 2024 China Brand Day event in Shanghai, CSG set up an exhibition area at the expo under the theme "Renewing Energy, Lighting Dreams," showcasing more than 20 accomplishments the company has achieved in recent years.
Building a brand of technological innovation
At the exhibition site, CSG's major engineering projects and significant technological innovations garnered considerable attention. Overcoming the technical challenges of designing complete sets for direct current (DC) power transmission, CSG has bolstered China's world-leading position in ultra-high-voltage DC (UHVDC) power transmission technology and AC/DC hybrid grid technology. The company has successfully built and operated 19 west-to-east power transmission “highways”, with a power transmission scale exceeding 58 million kilowatts and a cumulative power transmission of over 3 trillion kWh; among them, the Kunliulong DC project set 19 world-firsts in power technology. The Guangdong Target Grid Project has also been completed, while construction has commenced on the 500-kV Hainan main grid project. By continuously improving the grid structure at all levels, CSG provides strong support for safe and stable grid operation, ensuring a reliable power supply.
In addition, CSG exhibited "Big Watt," the first self-controllable large-scale power model in the power industry. Upon operation, it will increase the machine use ratio in the core business of the power grid from 60 percent to 80 percent, significantly improving management efficiency in intelligent customer service, power dispatch, and other areas. The introduction of Power HarmonyOS, the first domestic power IoT operating system, marks the first time a system covers different types and brands. It enables plug-and-play and major data linkage, thereby greatly boosting the efficiency of power equipment networking, operation and maintenance.
Building a green and low-carbon brand
In the "Green and Low-Carbon" exhibition area, CSG unveiled a series of new green projects. Among them, "Nankun," the world's first megawatt-level floating wave energy generator, can generate 24,000 kWh of power per day running at full capacity, equivalent to the daily electricity consumption of 3,500 households. The Baotang Energy Storage Station, the largest new energy storage power station in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, can supply 430 million kWh of clean electricity annually to the Greater Bay Area, meeting the electricity needs of 200,000 residents and reducing CO2 emissions by 300,000 tons. Additionally, the exhibition highlighted projects such as the national-local collaborative new energy storage innovation center, the Hengqin Digital Zero Carbon Island Shared Laboratory, the Yunnan hydrogen storage comprehensive application project, and the first electrochemical energy storage exclusive insurance.
Building a brand of quality services
In optimizing the business environment in terms of power use, CSG has introduced "CSG Online," an intelligent service platform that allows users in the five provincial-level regions in southern China to access electricity services seamlessly using facial recognition or a single form of ID, obviating visits to the business hall. At the same time, the reliability of electricity in the Greater Bay Area has reached an advanced level among major bay areas worldwide. Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, and Dongguan have also been selected as model cities for convenient electricity services. To contribute to high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, CSG has engaged in various activities, including aiding the construction of friendship schools, organizing public welfare activities, and fostering talent cooperation and exchanges, thus improving people's livelihoods and fulfilling social responsibilities.
In 2024, CSG will further strengthen the integration between brand building and business operation. We will accelerate the upgrading of the brand system, enrich the brand image of "CSG lights up every household," seize new opportunities, foster new industries, and unleash new energy to provide a more secure and reliable power supply for the Chinese path to modernization.
