Thanks to the help of State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company, recently in Jintan district, Changzhou, Jiangsu province, a new energy technology company's user successfully fulfilled the application for the first time for adjustable load auxiliary services.

The declaration, organized by State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company, has an adjustable load reaching 4 megawatts. The user increased the power load from 10:00 to 15:00 on the declaration day, expecting to increase electricity consumption by 2 megawatt-hours.

Adjustable load auxiliary services refer to electricity market users aggregating their internal distributed power sources, self-owned power plants, charging stations and energy storage resources according to the needs of the power system operation. Market users can participate in the auxiliary services market through electricity sales companies as agents to receive compensation for adjustable load, promoting the effective integration of clean energy.

In September 2024, relying on independently developed electric-thermal coupling technology, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company successfully put into operation the first lithium battery industry electrode boiler steam production project in Jiangsu province for the new energy company, providing an effective means to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. It is regarded as an additional adjustable resource and a flexible response to grid demands for the enterprise.

Exploring the potential of load-side resources adjustment is an important way to enhance the adjustment capability of the power system. State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company explores and practices in this area, guiding eligible adjustable loads to participate in power operation adjustments in a market-oriented manner. By continuously exploring adjustable resources on the load side in Jintan district, the company is promoting auxiliary service policies, creating an auxiliary service resource pool, guiding potential users to participate in the auxiliary services market, reducing electricity costs for users while responding to grid adjustment demands, to achieve win-win results.

In the next phase, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company said it will continue to provide high-quality services for all users in the region, provide energy-saving and customized services for large users and create a green business environment.
