It is constructed and managed by the State

On February 1st, the 500-kilovolt AC system of the Hezhou Converter Station, the receiving-end station of the ±800-kilovolt UHV DC power transmission project from northern Shaanxi to Anhui, was officially put into operation after a 24-hour trial run.

On February 2nd, the 750-kilovolt power transmission and transformation project of the third passageway from northern Shaanxi to central Shaanxi was fully connected. The project starts from the 750-kilovolt Shuofang Substation in Shenmu City in the north and ends at the 750-kilovolt Bailuyuan Substation in Lantian County in the south. It has newly built a 1,271-kilometer line, passing through 18 counties (districts) in 4 cities including Yulin, Yan'an, Weinan and Xi'an.
