CSG set to ramp up green energy efforts

Power operator banks on high voltage project for sustainability initiative

China Southern Power Grid Corp Ltd is banking on its Wudongde power station to cater to the growing energy needs of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and drive the use of green energy in the region.

The State-owned power operator recently started an ultra-high voltage project to deliver electricity from Wudongde hydropower station in Yunnan province to multiple terminals in Guangdong province and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. It can transmit about 8 million kilowatt-hours of electricity every hour - the largest of its kind in the world - along a direct current circuit of 1,489 kilometers.
