A large-scale emergency drill for power monitoring systems was completed in Guizhou on June 17. The drill, named "Ju Neng Qian Xing – Qiandun 2026," was co-hosted by the Guizhou Regulatory Office of the National Energy Administration and the Provincial Energy Administration, with guidance from the Cyberspace Affairs Office of the Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Public Security Department, and was jointly undertaken by Guizhou Power Grid Company, Huadian Wujiang Company, State Power Investment Jinyuan Group, and CGN New Energy Guizhou Company.
The drill comprehensively covered all power source types of Guizhou's power system, including wind, solar, hydro, thermal, and storage, and the entire business chain from generation, transmission, transformation, distribution, to consumption, integrating all threat paths involving water, land, and air. The process featured multi-scenario, multi-path, multi-point, multi-round, saturation, and three-dimensional characteristics, demonstrating the role of the joint defense mechanism involving government-enterprise linkage, police-enterprise coordination, and plant-grid integration. Officials commented that the drill highlighted new achievements in Guizhou's cybersecurity work, which follows the principle of unified deployment, unified prevention and control, and integrated advancement.
In terms of presentation, the drill innovatively adopted a scenario flashback structure to realistically visualize the hidden cyberattack processes and emergency response steps through hands-on, scenario-based methods. This approach significantly enhanced the drill's value in popular science, display, and demonstration dissemination.
Academician Guo Shize of the Chinese Academy of Sciences served as the chief director of the drill. He highly commended the drill's effectiveness, calling it a benchmark success that highly aligns with the top-level layout of coordinated development of national energy security and digital security. Guo believed that this drill has generated replicable and promotable experience in power security protection for hub regions, representing a culmination of power monitoring system emergency drills in recent years and setting a high-value example for similar exercises.
