On March 20, 2024, the Pinglu Canal Qishi Hub successfully sent power. So far, the three major hubs of Youth, Madao, and Qishi are all electrified, and the project has officially entered a new stage of joint commissioning and joint testing of ship lock equipment. Guangxi Qinzhou Power Supply Bureau of China Southern Power Grid has adopted the active service mode of "electricity and other projects" to meet the demand in advance, simplify the power supply process, and ensure that the power supply time of each hub is at least 10 days earlier than originally planned, providing basic conditions for the commissioning of core equipment such as lock opening and closing system and monitoring and dispatching. Faced with the challenges of tight construction period and difficult coordination, the bureau innovated and implemented the service mechanism of "segmented acceptance" and "double chief" to solve technical problems efficiently, and the overall power transmission cycle was compressed by more than 12%. Since the start of the canal in 2022, the bureau has completed a large number of power line relocation and construction projects, and is accelerating the special planning of the canal economic belt power grid, and plans to build a number of backbone power facilities to provide for the canal navigation and regional high-quality development. Continuous and reliable power support.
