Post by World Energy Council

🌐 As nearly 3,000 energy leaders across 110 countries told us in this year’s World Energy Issues Monitor, ensuring power grid resilience is top top priority across the entire global energy agenda. Another 15 ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission lines will be operational between 2026 and 2030, according to China’s grid operator and our Patron, State Grid Corporation of China. These new lines will enable around 200 GWh/year of renewable power to be connected to the grid and will boost China’s cross-provincial electricity transmission capacity by 35%. The long-distance transmission lines form part of the next five-year planning period, aimed at enhancing clean energy integration and consumption. As a valued Patron of the World Energy Council, State Grid Corporation of China’s continued investment reflects a wider reality: energy systems are expanding even as they transform. Rising demand across domestic, transportation, industrial and digital sectors is reshaping system requirements, while grids and infrastructure capacity increasingly set the pace of transition delivery. After all, creating more sustainable energy supplies is only meaningful if the infrastructure exists to deliver that power efficiently to the cities, industries and communities that depend on it. 👉 Find out more about being a patron here: https://lnkd.in/e-5Kwu7f Photo: Dr Angela Wilkinson, Secretary General and CEO of the World Energy Council with SGCC Chairman Zhang Zhigang, May 2025/Credit: State Grid Corporation of China. #energytransition #powergrids #sustaianbility #transmissions
