Power alert! 🎉 Xinjiang just wrapped up the Kucha-Altay-Bachu 750 kV ultra-high-voltage project, completing its 'seven inner loops' grid. This big win marks the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) goal for the region.
The new network plugs into a 'seven inner loops, five outer channels' framework – basically, a mega superhighway for electricity. Ultra-high-voltage means less energy lost over long distances, so you get bigger, faster, more reliable power 🔌⚡
Covering over 1.6 million km², Xinjiang now boasts China's largest provincial power grid by area. Expect smoother power supply, fewer blackouts, and fresh fuel for regional growth – from bustling city lights to next-gen tech parks.
Get ready for an electric future – this power upgrade is set to supercharge Xinjiang’s next wave of innovation and growth 🚀
