The reporter learned from the National Energy Administration that the revised “Regulations on Emergency Response and Investigation and Handling of Electric Safety Accidents” were officially announced to the public today and will be officially implemented on January 1, 2027. A relevant person in charge of the National Energy Administration told reporters that the county power grid is a key infrastructure connecting urban and rural development and protecting people's livelihood and welfare. The current revision of the “Regulations on Emergency Response and Investigation and Handling of Electric Power Safety Accidents” has achieved a historic breakthrough in power safety control from focusing on urban power grids to covering urban and rural areas throughout the region. Currently, differences in regional development in China exist objectively, and some remote counties are still facing problems such as power grid structures that need to be optimized and equipment operation pressure is too high. The Regulations add provisions to control power outages in counties, which will give full play to the leading role of the system, guide the power industry to continue to increase investment in county power grid construction, operation and maintenance, and emergency system construction, and accelerate the integration of urban and rural power grid planning, construction, operation and maintenance standards. At the same time, the new regulations insist on seeking truth from facts, coordinate safety investment and development benefits, set control standards according to local conditions, and take into account the actual development situation in each region.
