Dianjiang, Chongqing: Injecting "Smart Power" into Intelligent Valves

Currently, Dianjiang County in Chongqing has developed a large-scale valve industry cluster integrating R&D, production, and sales. Behind the industry's rapid development is a reliable power supply. To provide targeted support for the production projects of enterprises at the 10-billion-yuan-scale Western Intelligent Valve Base, State Grid Dianjiang Power Supply Company has set up a dedicated team serving major customers in the industrial park. The team works on-site in the park, with dedicated project managers assigned to oversee the entire process and ensure seamless coordination at every stage.

Enterprises now have reliable power support in three areas: electricity connections, cost reduction, and safety. State Grid Dianjiang Power Supply Company has assigned dedicated power service managers to high-tech enterprises in the park, providing one-on-one support from the project planning stage, including capacity calculations, coordination of power line corridors, and guidance throughout the electricity connection application process. Once the projects are in operation, State Grid Dianjiang Power Supply Company uses energy efficiency diagnostics to analyze load curves, guide enterprises in shifting electricity use to off-peak periods, and advise them on configuring reactive power compensation devices to reduce electricity costs. In addition, the company conducts regular on-site inspections, monitors changes in equipment condition, and promptly eliminates safety hazards.

Since the beginning of this year, State Grid Dianjiang Power Supply Company has worked to develop a service brand suited to local conditions, carrying out service activities under its "Dian Xiao'er" sub-brand through various channels. It has provided enterprises with more than 200 on-site services, including assistance with electricity connection applications, policy interpretation, and energy efficiency diagnostics. In addition, the company uses big data technology to help enterprises implement smart energy efficiency management and move more quickly toward "intelligent analysis and proactive early warning."

Today, State Grid Dianjiang Power Supply Company's "project manager responsibility system" has been extended across the county's "one park, four zones," providing full-lifecycle power supply services to more than 40 enterprises with new or expanding operations. This enables enterprises to access electricity sooner during the initial stages of construction and to use it efficiently and economically once production begins.
