Abstract: In today's China, the reverse distribution of electricity resources and electricity demand makes large-scale and long-distance transmission of electricity inevitable, resulting in the problem of electricity allocation optimization. To address this problem in the region covered by the China Southern Grid (CSG), the paper establishes an optimized model for electricity generation and interprovincial trading strategies in southern China. Based on data from 2015, this paper simultaneously optimizes electricity generation and interprovincial trading strategies in each of the five provinces. The result shows that interprovincial trading in the CSG-served area can yield significant energy, economic, environmental and interconnection benefits. It can reduce the power supply cost and environmental pressure in Guangdong province, help make Yunnan province a hydropower base in China and a thermal power base in southern China, facilitate the completion of the “West-to-East Power Transmission” project, and partly resolve the issues raised in each province's 13th Five-Year Plan as well as the problem of optimizing electricity allocation in the region covered by the CSG.
