With the increasing global attention to clean energy, Shandong Province is accelerating its pace to build a diversified and complementary new energy supply and consumption system. It was recently learned that Shandong Province will further enhance the consumption capacity of the power grid in 2024 to meet the growing demand for clean energy.

To achieve this goal, Shandong Province will actively promote the construction of a number of key projects. Among them, 500 kV projects such as Diakou will be fully completed to provide stable power support for the northern Lubei region. At the same time, 500 kV projects such as Mihe will also start construction to expand the coverage of the power grid and improve the reliability of power supply. In addition, the Highland and Bohai 500 kV projects will also enter the construction stage, providing a strong power transmission channel for the clean energy base on the Jiaodong Peninsula. It is worth mentioning that the preliminary work of the 1000kV UHV project will also be started, which will inject new impetus into the clean energy development of Shandong Province.

While promoting the construction of new energy projects, Shandong Province also pays attention to innovative development and construction operation models. Dezhou's first "centralized confluence", "intelligent transparency", "cloud energy storage" and other models will be promoted throughout the province to improve the power grid consumption capacity and solve the bottleneck of new energy development. The implementation of these models will help to realize the efficient use of new energy and sustainable development.

In order to further improve the service level of the power grid, Shandong Province will also implement the consolidation and upgrading of the rural power grid project to speed up the transformation and upgrading of the distribution network. This will help meet the access needs of new energy projects such as distributed photovoltaic and promote the wide application of clean energy. At the same time, comprehensively improving the automation level of power grid dispatch is also a key move, by promoting the mutual benefit of various types of power supplies and the interaction of source and network load and storage, it will be able to meet the high proportion and large-scale new energy consumption needs.

It is expected that in the next few years, Shandong Province will add 500 kV substation capacity of about 2 million kVA. This initiative will further enhance the overall power supply capacity and clean energy consumption level of Shandong's power grid, laying a solid foundation for the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system.
