What State Grid Information & Communication does

IT and communications-services arm of State Grid Corporation, providing grid informatization and dispatch systems.

Most work comes from its parent's grid system, building and maintaining IT and communications networks under contracts that follow State Grid's investment plans. One customer therefore dominates its orders, and its fortunes depend on that group's spending priorities. State Grid Corporation, China's state-owned grid operator, controls the company.
