East China to Share One-Third of Electric Power of Three Gorges

The 500,000-volts D.C. power transmission project from the Three Gorges to Changzhou, which involves a total investment of 5 billion yuan, started construction in Yichang, Hubei Province on July 27. This super high-voltage D.C. power transmission project, currently the largest of its kind in the world, will start from Yichang in the west and join East China power grid in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. The whole project, 890 km in length, is expected to be completed in 2003. It will become the only channel to transmit the electricity generated by the first group of generating units of the Three Gorges Power Plant to the east China area.

Huo Ji'an, director of the power grid construction department of State Power Company, affirmed that this project alone will be able to send one-sixth of the electric power of the Three Gorges Plant. Three years later, the company will build another similar project which will transmit one- third of the electricity to east China regions.
