Power transmission companies in China have been ordered by the government to provide grid connectivity for all renewable power generation sources to end a bottleneck that has left a large amount of clean power idle. China has become the world’s biggest wind and solar power user, but a large amount of renewable power has not been able to reach the grid because transmission capabilities are lagging generating capacity by around three to five years. To fix this issue, China’s main grid company will build new ultra-high voltage(UHV) long-distance transmission lines to help with cross-regional power delivery. The new lines will allow provinces where energy resources are plentiful to transport surplus power to the more energy-hungry areas in China.
