Core Points - The "Ruo Qiang-Ling Yang (Hua Tu Gou East)" 750 kV power transmission and transformation project has officially commenced construction, aiming to establish a new pattern of "three AC and three DC" for Xinjiang's electricity export [1][2] - The project involves a dynamic investment of 3.13 billion RMB and will span approximately 723.68 kilometers, with over 486.73 kilometers located in Xinjiang [1] - The project is expected to be operational by mid-2027, increasing the AC transmission capacity from 3 million kW to approximately 4.8 million kW [2] Investment and Construction Details - The project starts from the already built Ruo Qiang 750 kV substation in Xinjiang and ends at the Ling Yang 750 kV substation in Qinghai, passing through the under-construction Qi Man 750 kV substation [1] - The construction includes 1,054 new transmission towers, with over 100 kilometers of the line needing to traverse the 3,800-meter-high Altyn Mountains and a no-man's land [1] - To minimize ecological disturbance, the project has optimized its path to avoid the Lop Nur Wild Camel National Nature Reserve, resulting in an additional investment of 16.4 million RMB [1] Future Developments - By June 10, 2025, the Hami-Chongqing ±800 kV UHVDC project will be operational, marking the formation of an "external five-channel" pattern for Xinjiang [2] - The new project will increase the number of 750 kV connections in the Xinjiang power grid from 4 to 6, enhancing the overall electricity export capacity significantly [2]
