CSG Holds Leading Group Meeting on Energy Conservation & Ecological Environment Protection 2020

Guangzhou - China Southern Power Grid senior managers recently held the Leading Group Meeting on Energy Conservation and Ecological Environment Protection 2020, which considered matters related to energy conservation and ecological environment protection of the Company.

During the meeting, Chen Yunpeng, Vice President of CSG, said, “in Year 2019, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, the Company's goal of clean energy consumption has been fully realized … which effectively prevented the risk of ecological environment pollution. By realizing synchronous line loss management, lean management of line loss also saw breakthroughs. Comprehensive energy services have led to significant achievements in energy conservation and environment protection.”

Mr. Chen said, “based on the Company’s accurate grasp of the new situation facing energy conservation and ecological environment protection and a clear understanding of the existing problems at work, CSG would strictly follow the deployment of the work conference at the beginning of the year held by the CPC Central Committee and the Company.”
