China on Tuesday commissioned a ±800-kilovolt ultra-high-voltage (UHV) direct current (DC) transmission project linking Shaanxi Province in northwest China with Anhui Province in the country's east, expanding its long-distance power grid to deliver more renewable electricity across regions.
It is the first UHV DC project commissioned during the country's 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030).
The 1,055-kilometer transmission line runs from the Baotashan converter station in Yan'an, Shaanxi, to the Hezhou converter station in Hefei, Anhui.
