Core Points - The "Ning Electric into Hunan" project has officially commenced operations, marking China's first high-voltage transmission corridor primarily for renewable energy from the "Shagehuang" wind and solar base [1] - The project spans 1616 kilometers across six provinces, with a total installed capacity of 17.64 million kilowatts, of which 13 million kilowatts are renewable energy [1] - The project is expected to replace approximately 6 million tons of standard coal annually in Hunan, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 18 million tons, equivalent to the annual absorption of 1 billion trees [1] Summary by Sections Project Overview - The "Ning Electric into Hunan" project started construction in June 2023 and has a renewable energy share exceeding 70%, setting a new record for similar projects [1] - The project will enable the transmission of rich green electricity from Ningxia to Hunan in just 0.0054 seconds [1] Energy Demand and Supply - During the summer of 2023, the project maintained a high power output of over 3 million kilowatts, accounting for nearly 10% of Hunan's peak load [2] - Once fully operational, the project will have a maximum transmission capacity of 8 million kilowatts, delivering between 36 billion to 40 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually to Hunan [2] - Hunan's total electricity consumption is projected to reach 237.4 billion kilowatt-hours in 2024, with a year-on-year growth of 4.3% [2] Future Energy Needs - Hunan's reliance on external electricity is expected to rise to nearly 30% with the project's completion, although the province will still face a "tight balance" in electricity supply [2] - Experts suggest that Hunan will need to construct 3-4 additional external electricity channels to increase the external electricity share to over 40%, which is crucial for addressing local electricity supply issues [2]

Core Viewpoint - The Ningxia to Hunan ±800 kV UHVDC transmission project has successfully delivered over 1 billion kWh of electricity to Hunan, supporting the region during high-temperature conditions [1][3]. Group 1: Project Overview - The "Ning Dian Ru Xiang" project began operation on June 29, with a capacity to transmit 4 million kW of electricity, and has been operating at high load [3]. - On July 16, the project achieved full power operation for the first time, maintaining this output on July 17, delivering 0.76 million kWh in a single day [3]. - The project is China's first approved UHVDC transmission channel primarily for transporting renewable energy from the "Shagehuang" wind and solar base [3]. Group 2: Future Projections - The project is expected to be fully completed and operational by September this year, with a planned capacity of 8 million kW [3]. - Ningxia will utilize three major "electricity highways" to transmit abundant wind, solar, and thermal power to Central, Northern, and Eastern China [3].
