What 'three-zero' means
In 2026 several State Grid branches eased home-stall applications. Liaoning's 'three-zero' service: zero visits (file via the app), zero approval (internal parallel processing), zero investment (utility pays meter-box and pre-meter lines). Putian runs one-stop filing—one window, one trip—with low-voltage zero-approval and zero-investment, utility fully funding pre-meter works.
One permit per estate
Shanxi's notice (Jin Energy Reg [2026] No.237, effective 1 Sep 2026) drops the neighbourhood-committee stamped form for direct-supply estates, with rural areas following the same rule; Gushi innovates 'one permit per estate' and 'one-document, tolerance filing' so residents need not run errands alone.
Yantai's unified-build answer
Easy hookup is the 'last mile' for home stalls. Dongdian Huichong's Yantai 'unified build-operate' takes this on—residents skip the paperwork and permits while the operator builds, manages and maintains, turning the policy into a doorstep, worry-free experience.
