Department of Rural Electrification of Tibet Electric Power Company
State Grid
The department built power lines on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the world's highest and largest plateau. In 2020, the power grid project in Ali prefecture was completed and put into operation. It ended the prefecture's isolation from the regional power grid and effectively improved the local power supply.
It has sent 1,222 people to 41 poverty-stricken villages to provide assistance. The department invested 11 million yuan ($1.7 million) to improve local infrastructure and public service conditions, and helped lift 4,383 people out of poverty.
