Facing the accelerated construction of Xiangyang's new industrial system and the intensive implementation of tens-of-billions-level projects such as Chuneng New Energy, State Grid Xiangyang Power Supply Company will continue to increase grid investment, optimize the grid structure, and proactively plan and construct supporting grid projects to ensure that major projects are "implemented smoothly, connected quickly, and utilized effectively". At the same time, it will actively serve new energy integration, accelerate the construction of a 10-million-kW new-type power system with a high share of renewable energy, and vigorously support the development and utilization of distributed photovoltaics on the rooftops of industrial parks and factory buildings, promoting the model of "self-generation for self-use, with surplus power fed to the grid". In addition, it will actively promote the application of energy storage technology, deploying energy storage equipment in load-intensive areas such as the Xiangyang High-tech Zone to achieve green electricity peak shaving and valley filling, solve the problem of bidirectional line overloads, and enable industrial enterprises to enjoy the benefits of green electricity while obtaining more stable voltage quality.

State Grid Xiangyang Power Supply Company also continuously optimizes the electric power business environment, implementing "face-recognition services" and "single-document processing". Relying on the "Smart Power Little Zhuge" intelligent power supply command hub, it achieves intelligent fault early warning and second-level response times. It has also formed service teams to proactively visit key enterprises, providing "one-on-one" precise services and full-cycle power supply guarantee, allowing enterprises to produce with peace of mind and develop with confidence.
