A government-enterprise joint drill targeting the summer peak of 2026 was conducted on the Northeast China Grid. The Northeast China Energy Regulatory Bureau supervised and the State Grid Northeast Division organized the exercise, which was divided into two phases.
The first phase focused on power supply shortages. It simulated a scenario of consecutive high-temperature days in Northeast China, with four segments arranged on a timeline to demonstrate new changes in supply guarantee mechanisms under the power market environment.
The second phase addressed grid safety vulnerabilities. It directly targeted weak links and major risks of the Northeast China Grid, with fault settings covering critical transmission corridors, hub substations, the three-defense-lines, and cybersecurity in a interlinked manner.
The drill was tightly organized and executed, testing the operability of various regulations and procedures, and enhancing personnel capabilities in handling power balance and grid operational risks, achieving intended results.
A responsible official from the Northeast China Energy Regulatory Bureau provided remarks and outlined three requirements: attach great importance to the extreme significance of power supply guarantee and large grid security; clearly recognize the current prominent pressures on large grid security and power supply; and prioritize and coordinate work on power supply guarantee and safety production.
A total of over 1,000 people from provincial-level government power departments, energy regulatory agencies, State Grid Northeast Division, State Grid Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Mengdong power companies, as well as regional power generation groups and municipal power supply companies, observed the drill.
The Bureau stated it will continue to collaborate with local power management departments and power enterprises to enhance emergency capabilities and fully commit to summer supply guarantee and flood prevention work, providing strong power support for high-quality economic and social development in Northeast China.
