As a key project of the national "West-East Power Transmission" successive energy base and the construction of the national southwest hydropower base, the Suwalong Hydropower Station is located at the junction of Mangkang County, Qamdo City, Xizang and Batang County, Sichuan Province on the upper reaches of the Jinsha River. Adopting a dam-type development mode, it has a maximum dam height of 112 meters, a normal reservoir water level of 2,475 meters, and a total installed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts, making it the first large-scale hydropower project in Xizang with an installed capacity exceeding one million kilowatts.

The "Suwalong Hydropower Station–Batang 500kV Transmission Line Project" is part of the 500kV outgoing transmission project of the Suwalong Hydropower Station, undertaking the critical task of delivering power generated by the station. As a leading enterprise in the cable industry, New Far East Cable Co., Ltd. (New Far East Cable), a subsidiary of Far East Smarter Energy Co., Ltd. (Far East Energy, Stock Code: 600869), participated in the project construction, providing intelligent cable products and system solutions. It made important contributions to the completion and operation of the project and won high recognition from the project owner.

The 500kV outgoing transmission project of the Suwalong Hydropower Station has a total investment of 711.67 million yuan, including a newly built 73.5-kilometer line between the Suwalong Hydropower Station and Batang, consisting of 32 kilometers of double-circuit lines on the same tower in Xizang, 33.5 kilometers of double-circuit lines on the same tower and 8 kilometers of single-circuit lines in Sichuan. Upon completion, the project will meet the power delivery demand of the Suwalong Hydropower Station, which is of great significance for accelerating local economic and social development in Sichuan Province and Xizang Autonomous Region and implementing the "West-East Power Transmission" strategy.

After extensive research and comparison, New Far East Cable stood out and cooperated with the Materials Branch of State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company on the "Suwalong Hydropower Station–Batang 500kV Transmission Line Project", supplying intelligent cable products including steel-core high-conductivity aluminum stranded conductors. Compared with conventional conductors of the same specification, steel-core high-conductivity aluminum stranded conductors have obvious advantages in reducing loss, improving corrosion resistance and operational safety, while enhancing the efficiency of long-distance power transmission, which can effectively lower the investment and operation costs of power grid projects. With their excellent performance, these products have been highly praised by customers.

In addition, the technical competence and service quality of the professional team in charge of the project received unanimous praise from the customer. On-site technical support was provided multiple times during construction, greatly facilitating the smooth progress of the project. To express its gratitude, the Materials Branch of State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Company sent a special letter of thanks to New Far East Cable, specifically commending the company for not only delivering goods on time in a short period but also providing strong support throughout all stages – from preliminary design confirmation to material preparation, production scheduling and transportation – truly prioritizing customers’ urgent needs. Despite the abnormal rise in aluminum prices during the delivery period, New Far East Cable maintained unconditional production and worked overtime to ensure supplies, guaranteeing smooth construction. The letter spoke highly of the thoughtful and enthusiastic services provided by the company.

New Far East Cable has long been committed to delivering top-tier technology, products and services. Jiang Xipei, Founder, Chairman of the Board and Secretary of the Party Committee of Far East Holding Group, has stated on many occasions: "The core lies in whether our technology is world-leading, our products are recognized and loved by customers, and our services win market recognition." Guided by this corporate philosophy, New Far East Cable has established a professional technical service team to provide customers with all-round and full-cycle professional services including scheme design, product selection, installation guidance and on-site testing.

The letter of recognition serves as both an honor and an inspiration. Going forward, New Far East Cable will stay true to its original aspiration and forge ahead, continuing to pursue quality-driven development. While upholding product quality, it will further optimize service standards and improve customer experience, striving to build a world-class enterprise with global competitiveness and contributing Far East’s strength to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
