The State Grid Corporation of China started construction on another ultra-high-voltage (UHV) power transmission line on Monday as China hastens steps to champion its proprietary UHV technology.
The project, a 800-kilovolt direct current UHV power transmission line, spreads across some 1,200 kilometers and links the northern part of North China's Shanxi Province and East China's Jiangsu Province.
The project, due to be operational in 2017, is expected to benefit electrical equipment manufacturing industry by creating new orders and 18,000 jobs.
