Abstract

Amid accelerating global energy transitions and China’s national strategies for achieving “dual carbon” goals and building a science and technology powerhouse, provincial power grid enterprises are compelled to evolve into pivotal “innovation sources” and “chain leaders” in technological advancement. However, these enterprises currently face systemic challenges, including rigid disciplinary structures, weak cross-disciplinary collaboration, and inefficiencies in traditional R&D management systems. Specifically, they grapple with integrating high proportions of renewable energy, adopting disruptive digital technologies, and overcoming organizational inertia within traditional utility structures. Leveraging empirical insights from provincial power grids such as State Grid Hubei Electric Power, and drawing parallels with successful innovation frameworks in other sectors (e.g., Huawei’s intensive R&D model, Shenzhen’s innovation ecosystem), this study constructs a theoretical framework for high-quality innovation system development grounded in innovation ecosystem theory. We propose a “Four-High” innovation system—emphasizing high-impact R&D breakthroughs, high-efficiency management, high-caliber talent cultivation, and high-efficacy technology transfer—to align with the strategic objective of positioning provincial power grids within the “first echelon of State Grid and global top-tier enterprises”. Implementation measures include enhancing cross-disciplinary integration, optimizing incentive mechanisms, and fostering industry-academia-research synergies. The study further provides actionable insights on fostering interdisciplinary collaboration within traditional hierarchies through flexible project teams, innovation incubators, and cross-departmental incentives. Policy recommendations emphasize stable investment mechanisms, organizational restructuring, and innovation ecosystem cultivation to ensure sustainable development.
