Green power fuels zero-carbon shipping in Jiaxing

Employees from the State Grid Jiaxing Power Supply Company have visited Jiaxing Zhebei Shipbuilding, located in Guangchen town, Pinghu, a county-level city of Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, to conduct an electricity inspection and learn about the company's production needs.

Zhebei Shipbuilding's new plant, which opened earlier this year, specializes in building and repairing civil vessels, with a strong focus on developing new-energy ships.

On the day of the inspection, a landmark achievement was on display: the successful launch of Zhejiang Port's first pure electric inland container ship. The blue-and-black vessel, adorned with "energy wave" patterns, represents a major breakthrough in green shipping.

As a green power enabler, State Grid Jiaxing has been deeply involved in the shipyard's low-carbon transformation. The company has established a comprehensive inspection system covering equipment, power lines, and operational scenarios.

Using tools like infrared imaging, technicians performed precise checks in workshops and power distribution rooms to identify potential issues such as equipment aging and hidden discharge faults.

Furthermore, State Grid Jiaxing leveraged data from its intelligent monitoring center to propose an energy optimization plan. This strategy encourages shifting high-energy processes like welding and steel pre-treatment to off-peak hours, reducing costs. The team also ensured that reactive power compensation devices were optimized, further reducing electricity expenses.

To ensure long-term support, the company continues to streamline its one-stop service process. It maintains dynamic updates on the shipyard's power demand and equipment status, assisting with future energy planning and grid improvements.

State Grid Jiaxing will continue to deliver more precise, greener, and more efficient power services, helping more zero-carbon vessels sail into broader waters and providing a strong energy foundation for the green economy.
