China Wafangdian Powers Up Bearing Capital with High-Reliability Grid

As a major hub for China's bearing industry, Wafangdian, Liaoning Province, known as the "Bearing Capital," boasts over 800 related enterprises, with an industry scale projected to exceed 18 billion yuan in 2024. As this traditionally advantageous industry moves toward high-quality development, a stable and efficient power supply is becoming a key support.

To precisely serve the electricity needs of the bearing industry cluster, State Grid Wafangdian Power Supply Company has continuously upgraded its power grid in recent years, building a robust distribution network structure centered on a "dual-ring network + multiple interconnections." Relying on two 220 kV substations and four 66 kV substations, this power supply network provides comprehensive, flexible, and reliable coverage, significantly improving regional power supply resilience and quality.

To meet the personalized needs of different enterprises, the power supply company has innovatively introduced a "one-company, one-policy" service model, establishing a dual-track service system of "basic power supply + energy efficiency optimization" to provide tailored energy solutions. Furthermore, a cross-departmental joint service team has been established to implement "intensive processes and collaborative operations" to achieve efficient transitions from application to power connection.

To date, 30 small and medium-sized bearing companies have completed rapid power connection services, reducing the average power connection cycle to 30.4 days. This significantly shortens the waiting time for companies to start production and helps new projects achieve rapid results.

For precision manufacturing, power issues such as voltage fluctuations and power outages can directly impact product accuracy and equipment lifespan. By improving power supply reliability and optimizing service response mechanisms, Wafangdian Power Supply not only ensures continuous production for companies but also provides a solid energy foundation for their intelligent transformation and green transition.

With the continuous improvement of its power infrastructure and service system, Wafangdian is accelerating its transformation from a "manufacturing hub" to a "smart manufacturing powerhouse." Power empowerment has become one of the core drivers of the transformation and upgrading of the bearing industry in this historic industrial city.
