Moves set to boost green travel

The State Grid is boosting green travel amid fast-growing electricity demand of new energy vehicles around the country. In Jiangsu province, power staff members used abundant photovoltaic resources in some regions to build intelligent green charging stations by integrating photovoltaic power, energy storage and charging into one system. Staff members from State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Co view this type of "microgrid" as a new model for green charging. The largest such station has a photovoltaic power generation system that can generate 5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, helping reduce carbon emissions by about 4,200 metric tons and save some 1,500 tons of standard coal each year.
