In a significant boost to sustainable energy, China and Brazil have signed a 30-year franchise agreement for the northeast ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) power transmission line project. The groundbreaking agreement was inked in Brasilia on Wednesday, marking a pivotal step towards a greener future.
Slated to be operational by 2029, the UHVDC project aims to transport clean energy from wind, solar, and hydropower sources in northeastern and northern Brazil to the country's central regions. This initiative is set to accelerate Brazil's national clean and low-carbon energy transformation, aligning with global sustainability goals. 🌍✨
Winning the largest infrastructure power transmission auction ever held in Brazil, China's State Grid secured the project last December after two previous bids for the Belo Monte UHVDC transmission project. The ambitious engineering endeavor spans over 1,468 kilometers, featuring an 800kV DC transmission line capable of delivering 5 million kilowatts of renewable power.
This massive transmission line will supply electricity to over 12 million people, supporting Brazil's green development objectives. The project ensures a steady flow of renewable energy from a region experiencing a surge in wind and solar power installations, particularly benefiting metropolitan areas in Brasilia.
With this collaboration, China and Brazil are not only strengthening their ties but also paving the way for a sustainable and energy-efficient future. 🔋🌞
