Bloomberg

China completed construction of a $3.17 billion ultra-high voltage (UHV) electricity line that for the first time will transport only clean energy. It’s the first UHV line in the world built to transmit only carbon-free electricity, its developer, State Grid Corp of China, said. It will allow more renewables to be developed in Qinghai and Gansu provinces and deliver the electricity all the way to Henan in central China.
China is promoting the technology, which allows long-haul transmission with little loss of power, to solve a vexing problem.
