State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company: Intelligent Inspection Guards Grid Safety
JINCHANG, China, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At 9:30 a.m. on May 26, the intelligent inspection robot of the 330kV Dongdatang Substation of State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company set out on time. Along the guide rail, it "walked" to each primary equipment, extended its "neck", and rotated its "eyes" to scan the operation status of the equipment and collect real-time data. Driven by the energy digital transformation, substations are accelerating their march toward "unmanned and intelligent" operation. The intelligent inspection robot in substations can replace manual labor to complete all inspection tasks for high-voltage substation equipment. Combined with a distributed inspection system, it realizes intelligent identification and linkage with station equipment, and achieves 7×24-hour high-frequency unmanned inspection through diversified inspection modes and an automatic charging system. Leveraging the robot's characteristics of high precision, flexible response, and all-weather operation, and integrating intelligent detection devices and smart analysis software, it has established a closed-loop management and control system covering all-weather data collection, real-time information transmission, intelligent analysis and early warning, and rapid decision-making feedback, thereby enhancing intelligent operation and maintenance management capabilities. From "human eye observation" to "machine perspective," and from "experience-based judgment" to "data-driven decision-making," intelligent inspection robots are redefining the smart standards for substation operation and maintenance. From flashlights to lidar, and from paper records to digital twins, this technology-driven revolution is reshaping the DNA of the power industry. Intelligent inspection robots are breaking down the physical boundaries of traditional operation and maintenance. This technological revolution, which began with equipment inspection, will eventually drive substations to evolve from "power hubs" into "smart energy centers."

Lloydminster power substation deliberately shot at, leads to outage and $1M in damages: RCMP
Lloydminster RCMP are investigating an early morning power outage on Monday, which they say was caused by someone shooting at a substation. Mounties responded to an outage at an Atco substation near 12 Street and 78 Avenue at around 4:40 a.m. In a statement the next day, investigators said the substation was 'deliberately targeted.' They said an oil tank was shot, leading to a 'significant power outage' in the area. Approximately 20,000 litres of oil leaked out. Damages and cleanup costs are estimated to be about $1.1 million, according to police. A series of break-ins were also reported during the power outage, but RCMP do not believe the incidents to be linked. They continue to investigate.

RCMP investigate after electric substation shot at, causing oil leak and power outage
An investigation is underway after an electricity substation near the Alberta-Saskatchewan boundary was shot at early Monday, spilling oil and leaving thousands in the dark. RCMP say they responded to a 'firearms-related' call at an Atco substation in Lloydminster, a town straddling the provincial boundary. They say the facility was shot at and a bullet hit an oil tank, knocking out power to more than 2,500 residents for at least three hours and releasing roughly 20,000 litres of oil. Preliminary estimates place the cost of damage and environmental cleanup at about $1.1 million. Police are also investigating several break-ins that took place during the outage, but there's no evidence to suggest they are connected. A spokesperson for Atco Energy did not immediately return a request for comment.
