State Grid Jining Power Supply Company: Empowering the Private Economy with 'Full Power' for Accelerated Growth

On February 28, the 500,000-tonne ethanol green energy productor in Jining City was buzzing with activity. Compressors, distillation units, and other essential production equipment were operating at full capacity, transforming raw materials such as coke oven gas, water gas, and methanol into green energy ethanol. This production met the domestic demand for ethanol raw materials in new energy fields, including lithium battery electrolytes.

Supported by local policy funds and a reliable power supply, the 500,000-tonne ethanol green energy project, a key cultivation project among Shandong Province's top ten industries, was completed and commenced operation on schedule. Its production capacity soared, making it the second-largest globally. This development injected significant momentum into EverSincerity Group, a prominent private enterprise.

Private enterprises play a pivotal role in Jining City's economic landscape, with approximately 160,000 private enterprises accounting for over 90% of the city's total enterprise count. In recent years, Jining City has intensified its “Helping Enterprises to Climb” campaign, fostering the transformation, upgrading, and high-quality development of private enterprises through tailored precision services. Recognizing the importance of safeguarding the private economy, State Grid Jining Power Supply Company released ten measures in December 2024 under the banner of “Full Power for Beautiful Confucian Hometown.” These measures aimed to empower private economic development, leveraging electricity's supporting role in economic growth and providing top-notch services for the city's private economy's high-quality development.

To further enhance the power business environment, State Grid Jining Power Supply Company proactively offers advanced services, fully supporting the power demands of key projects, such as “specialized, innovative, high-quality, and core technology enterprises,” as well as green and low-carbon initiatives. The company implements an “assistant service” for electricity applications, establishing a dedicated power service team to conduct preliminary research on power supply access system schemes and power supply plans. Additionally, it pilots a “standardized power supply mode for industrial parks,” safeguarding the development of private enterprises commencing construction throughout the city. By fully implementing the “three zeros” and “three savings (saving time, saving effort, saving money)” measures, the company achieves “zero on-site visits, zero approvals, zero investment” service for small and micro-enterprises with capacities of 160 kW and below when applying for electricity. For projects with capacities of 10 kV and above, the company invests in external power line engineering up to the red line of the enterprise’s construction area, significantly reducing electricity costs for enterprises and boosting private enterprises’ development confidence.

On February 26, in the production workshop of ROKAE, a small giant enterprise specializing in innovation, high-quality, and core technologies in Jining City, State Grid Jining Power Supply Company staff assisted the enterprise in conducting safety inspections of electrical facilities and power distribution rooms using professional equipment. This timely assistance helped eliminate equipment hazards, ensuring full-capacity production.

To guarantee private enterprises' electricity safety, State Grid Jining Power Supply Company made advance arrangements, identifying key enterprises and projects throughout the city and forming a service visit ledger. It organized over 30 Rainbow Communist Party Member Service Team to conduct door-to-door visits, understanding enterprises' latest electricity needs face-to-face. Utilizing professional equipment like infrared thermometers, the teams assisted enterprises in conducting electrical equipment hazard investigations and guided them on safe electricity use, creating a robust safety “firewall” for private enterprises' smooth resumption of production. Furthermore, in response to the post-holiday electricity load surge, State Grid Jining Power Supply Company focused on strengthening power grid operation monitoring. Through technical means such as online visualization devices and autonomous drone patrols, it conducted multiple rounds of special inspections on key transmission lines throughout the city, comprehensively eliminating potential hazards and ensuring reliable power grid equipment operation.
