Green power meets summer peak demand
As summer peak demand approaches, green electricity is rising to the challenge. In Taiqian county, Henan province, a vast "blue ocean" is unleashing abundant kinetic energy — thousands of photovoltaic (PV) panels stand in neat arrays, converting every ray of sunlight into clean electricity and channeling it into a PV-storage power station, injecting green momentum into the summer peak load season.
This is a vivid microcosm of green power contributing to assured supply, and a pragmatic demonstration of proactive utility services. On Aug 10, staff members from State Grid Puyang Power Supply Co (State Grid Puyang) took the initiative to visit the PV-storage facility of Henan Zhongwei Xintang Down & Feather Co, conducting a check on its energy storage equipment and PV modules.
From inverter operating parameters to battery compartment temperature control, they verified every item and inspected every detail, ensuring the station maintains safe, stable, and efficient operations throughout the critical peak summer period — allowing green electricity to play its role in securing and augmenting the power supply.
State Grid Henan is advancing the integrated development of generation, grid, load, and storage in a coordinated manner. Wind and solar power have already risen to become the province's leading energy sources. Centered on the green transition, a series of accommodation policies and regulatory systems have been successively implemented, ensuring that green electricity can be generated, integrated, and utilized in a stable manner.
As PV and storage application scenarios continue to expand, the efficiency of green power utilization is constantly being improved. State Grid Puyang has taken a proactive, forward-leaning approach, organizing professional teams to visit PV-side energy storage projects across its jurisdiction. Sitting down with management and technical personnel, they conduct on-site surveys, analyze data, and brainstorm solutions.
From optimizing electricity consumption structures to upgrading energy-saving equipment, and from tapping energy efficiency potential to designing low-carbon pathways, they provide customized recommendations one by one. This is all supported by full-process follow-up services — giving enterprises tangible backing at every step of their green transition.
Moreover, services extend to even more refined levels of energy efficiency management. Using professional software, the power supply company provides specially tailored energy efficiency analysis for enterprises, coming up with electricity solutions that perfectly match each company's specific circumstances. This ensures production needs are met while minimizing electricity costs to the greatest extent, achieving optimal energy efficiency.
Take Henan Zhongwei Xintang Down & Feather Co as an example. Its PV-storage station generates 6.6 million kWh annually, equivalent to saving 2,640 metric tons of standard coal and reducing CO₂ emissions by 6,580 tons. The operating model, which charges during nighttime off-peak hours and discharges during daytime peak hours, allows the company to capitalize on electricity price differentials and add tangible economic substance to its green production.
