China Southern Power Grid Company Limited (often called CSG) is a big company in China. It was started in 2002. This company is owned by the Chinese government.
CSG is one of two main companies that handle electricity in China. The other one is called State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). CSG makes sure that electricity gets to homes and businesses in five southern provinces of China. These provinces are Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hainan.
