**China XD Group** is a Chinese [state-owned](/source/State_ownership) central enterprise responsible for manufacturing high-voltage and super grid [electric power transmission](/source/Electric_power_transmission) and [distribution](/source/Electric_power_distribution) equipment.[2]

China XD Group's products include [power generation](/source/Electricity_generation) and [power transmission equipment](/source/Power_transmission), [distribution systems](/source/Electric_power_distribution), [transformers](/source/Transformer), and related electrical equipment.[3]

## Business overview

China XD Group is involved in the research, development, design, production, sale, testing, distribution of control equipment for [high-voltage](/source/High_voltage) energy transmission and [distribution systems](/source/Electric_power_distribution).[3]

According to the company, China XD Group operates approximately 60 subsidiaries, including 10 medium-sized production enterprises and three research institutions. The company employs about 18,000 people, including around 3,000 engineers and technicians.[4]

The company asserts that it exports its products and technologies to nearly 40 countries and regions, including Germany, the United States of America, Singapore, and Hong Kong.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

China XD Group's research institutions conduct experiments on high-voltage, high-current, and large-capacity AC/DC electricity. The group is a member of the [International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)](/source/International_Electrotechnical_Commission) and the International Conference on Large High Voltage Electric Systems ([CIGRE](/source/International_Council_on_Large_Electric_Systems)), serving as the ICE's designated administrative body in China. China XD Group claims to have developed approximately 1300 products.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Additionally, the company holds 260 [patents](/source/Patent_law_of_China), including two related to computer [software](/source/Software) copyright.[5]

## Products

China XD Group specializes in electrical equipment and systems. Key product categories include:

- Transformers: Up to 750 kV for power and converter applications.

- High-voltage reactors: Smoothing and shunt reactors.

- [Switchgear](/source/Switchgear): Gas-insulated (GIS) systems up to 800 kV.

- [Lightning arresters](/source/Lightning_arrester) and capacitor voltage transformers.

These products serve high-voltage power networks, supporting national and international infrastructure projects.

## Projects

XD Group supplies power transmission and distribution equipment in China and components for national engineering projects, including the first infrastructure in China for 330kV and 550kV DC, 750kV AC, ±100kV DC, ±500 kV DC, and ±800 kV DC transmission. Additionally, they have contributed to China's first DC power supply network from the northwest to the north, participated in the [Three Gorges Project](/source/Three_Gorges_Dam), and supported the west-to-east electricity transmission project. According to the Belt and Road Energy Cooperation website, components like transformers of 750kV, reactors, lightning arresters, [capacitor voltage transformers](/source/Voltage_transformer) and isolating switches of 800kV have successfully operated in 750kV model projects in northwest China. China's first 800 kV double cut-off pot-style breakers have been operated at [Yinchuan](/source/Yinchuan) East [Transformer Substation](/source/Substation).[6]

XD Group has developed technology for AC 1100kV and DC ±800kV components in China, providing equipment such as 1000kV GIS, reactors, capacitor voltage transformers, lightning arresters, ground switches, and insulators for the Mega-Volt (MV) model line “Southeast Shanxi—Nanyang—Jingmen Model Project.” Additionally, the company supplied transformers, valves, capacitors, and lightning arresters for the “Yunnan—Guangzhou” ±800kV High Voltage DC Transmission Project.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

### Participation in the Belt and Road Initiative

Since the [Belt and Road Initiative](/source/Belt_and_Road_Initiative) was proposed in 2013, China XD Group has exported its products and technologies to around 100 countries and regions, supplying equipment for international infrastructure projects.[7] Major projects include:

#### Southeast Asia

- [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia): Joint venture to produce 500 kV power transformers.

- [Philippines](/source/Philippines): Construction of the MVIP HVDC transmission project.

- [Laos](/source/Laos): Completion of the Hongsa power transmission and transformation turn-key project.

- [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia): Transmission line project undertakings.

#### South Asia

- [Pakistan](/source/Pakistan): Construction of the first ±660kV HVDC transmission line.[8][9]

#### Middle East

- [Saudi Arabia](/source/Saudi_Arabia): Equipment supply for the NEOM water electrolysis hydrogen production project.

#### Central Asia

- [Uzbekistan](/source/Uzbekistan): Signed EPC contract for the 500kV ring transmission line project.

### Wind Power Projects

In 2013, XD planned to assist [Uzbekistan](/source/Uzbekistan) in constructing [wind farms](/source/Wind_farm) as its first major [wind power](/source/Wind_power) project. A [Memorandum of Understanding](/source/Memorandum_of_understanding) (MoU) was signed with Uzbekenergo, the country's governing body for energy, to conduct a feasibility study on the establishment of wind farms.[10]
