Zhaxie Nima, a national labor hero and foreman at the State Grid Corporation of China, is known as the "Doctor of Electricity." He gave an interview to a China News Service correspondent during the 2026 sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
"When I transferred to the Lha Power Supply Company of the State Grid Corporation in 2004, Xizang's power grid was still in a slow development stage, and technical challenges associated with its high altitude had long hampered power supply reliability," said Zhasi Nima. He added that in 2016, the team he led successfully completed the first-ever 10 kV transmission line work in Xizang's highlands, filling a gap in this technology.
In 2023, Zhaxie Nima was elected to the National People's Congress (NPC). Each year, in the lead-up to the "two sessions," he meticulously prepares proposals for energy development, paying particular attention to the problems of electricity supply in border and remote pastoral areas.
He has conducted numerous inspection visits to high-altitude areas such as Ngari and Nagchu, where he discovered that some villages were still using outdated solar equipment, making their power supply unstable. Previously, transmission line equipment had to be transported to the mountains by yaks. However, thanks to government policy and financial support, microgrids are now being successfully implemented in these areas: a wind-solar microgrid with energy storage, launched in 2022, in Tarma Village, Third Township, Shenza County, Nagchu City, provides a stable power supply for 64 herding families; an independent solar microgrid with storage, built in Tsyugamu Village, Mami Township, Gege County, Ngari, has completely resolved the village's power supply stability issue.
"Although 74 counties and prefectures in Xizang are already fully covered by the main power grid, extensive livestock areas still require additional microgrids." His proposal to "promote the integrated development of the main grid and microgrids" has already been incorporated into local planning. Currently, 12 solar microgrids have been built in regions such as Chamdo, Nagchu, and Ngari, providing basic electricity to remote communities, fulfilling the promise of "leaving no family without electricity."
In the smart energy town of Senbuzhi in Shannan, residents relocated there live in homes equipped with solar panels and enjoy smart services such as remote energy management and monitoring. High-altitude green energy not only illuminates life but also stimulates the emergence of new businesses: charging stations are being built one after another along the Sichuan-Xizang Highway, attracting ever more tourists in new energy vehicles to the green gateway to Xizang.
"From transporting solar panels on yaks to operating integrated wind-solar microgrids with storage, our fundamental concern for the people has never changed." Zhasi Nima is not only a technical expert but also a public voice. With his professionalism, he responds to public expectations, incorporates their opinions into his proposals, and communicates public policy to the most remote corners of the steppe.
