China's ultra-high voltage Hami-Zhengzhou transmission line just smashed its own record, delivering a whopping 10,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity this year as of March 16 🚀. That's an 11.2% jump compared to last year—enough to power millions of homes and businesses across six provinces!
Stretching 2,192 kilometers from Xinjiang's wind-swept deserts 🌪️ to buzzing central Henan, this ±800 kV UHVDC line is like the superhero of power grids. Since 2014, it’s been bridging China's energy divide: fueling factories in Henan while turbocharging Xinjiang's renewable energy boom ☀️💨.
Fun fact: Hami, nestled below the Tianshan Mountains, is a goldmine for solar and wind power. This project turns those natural resources into clean energy magic ✨, proving green tech can drive growth and keep lights on nationwide.
Imagine a weekend road trip across six provinces—Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan—all connected by one buzzing cable. Now that's infrastructure goals.
