Shennongjia Forestry District is located in the northwest of Hubei Province, China. It is the most well-preserved subtropical forest ecosystem in the 31 degree north latitude zone of the world. It is a World Natural Heritage Site, a World Geopark, a Biosphere Reserve, and an internationally important wetland.

State Grid Hubei Electric Power Company adheres to ecological priority and green development, integrating the protection of biodiversity into the entire process of power grid construction and operation. During the planning stage, efforts were made to promote the integration of power planning, rural revitalization planning and forest economic and social development planning, and actively promote clean substitution and electric energy substitution, in order to reduce ecological damage from the source.

It has promoted the establishment of a zerocarbon micro grid at the Dalongtan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Research Base. Efforts have been made to carry out full electrification transformation of the production and living facilities at the base. A photovoltaic and energy storage integrated micro-grid was built, generating approximately 30,000 kilowatt-hours of photovoltaic power annually. As a result, it can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 29 tons, and minimize the impact of the research base on the habitat of golden snub-nosed monkeys. After years of efforts by conservation personnel, the population of golden snub-nosed monkeys in Shennongjia has increased from over 500 at the beginning of the establishment of the nature reserve to over 1,300 currently, more than doubling in 30 years.
