A 2,500km ‘Green Marvel’ Brings Clean Energy to Life
Deep in Brazil’s lush rainforests, a titanic feat of engineering is rewriting the rules of sustainable energy. The world’s longest ±800kV ultra-high-voltage direct current (UHVDC) transmission line—stretching from northern hydropower hubs to southern cities—is now electrifying industries and homes 🏭💡. CGTN anchor Wang Guan explores how China’s cutting-edge UHV tech teamed up with Brazil’s renewable ambitions to create this ‘power highway.’
⚡ Why it matters: The project tackles Brazil’s energy inequality, channeling clean electricity to 22 million people while slashing carbon emissions. Rainforests? Untouched. Engineers? Legendary. Wang’s journey reveals how cross-continent collaboration is turning green dreams into reality 🌍🤝.
From bamboo-reinforced towers (eco-friendly flex 🌱) to AI-powered monitoring, this project blends innovation with sustainability. As Wang puts it: ‘It’s not just wires and pylons—it’s a bridge to a greener future.’
