According to the Gansu provincial power company news, a total investment of 26 billion 200 million yuan, will be China's first large-scale clean energy wind and solar power in Gansu sent straight to Hunan province transportation UHVDC project (wine lake project) 23 officially put into operation across the board charged.
According to Gansu electric power company introduced, "wine lake project", that is, Jiuquan - Hunan ± 800 thousand volts HVDC project, is China's “ West to East ” key power grid project. After the full benefit of this project, the power transmission capacity will be 8 million degrees per hour. According to the 5000 hours of power transmission in one year, the power consumption can be transferred to Hunan by 40 billion degrees per year, which can meet the demand of Hunan's 1/4 power supply.
