China’s UHV Grid: Exporting Power in an Age of Overcapacity

June 2017

Since the publication of our previous UHV Lines: Shaping the Future of China’s Power Sector Landscape in January 2016, China has made significant progress constructing and commissioning Ultra High Voltage (UHV) projects approved in 2015 and 2016. However, China has granted no new approvals to date in 2017.

In this edition of TLG on, we update our views on China’s expanding UHV grid, comment on more recent developments, including the current pause, and suggest possible new directions for future UHV projects.
