With rising power demand in Bai'etan (白鵝潭), Guanggang New Town (廣鋼新城) and Guangzhou International Medicine Port (GIMP) in Liwan district of Guangzhou, a new transformer substation is expected to be built in the region.
The substation will take up an area of 4,000 square meters at the former site of the Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Limited. Cui Kai, a renowned architect, designer and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is invited to participate in the construction of the substation.
The substation will adopt a glass facade and be decorated with green plants. Footpaths will be built around it so that people can take a look at the operation of the equipment inside through the glass.
In the future, the facility will become a unique sight of Guangzhou's waterfront area, integrating the functions of power supply and science popularization.
