Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project

Tibet, rich in hydropower resources, serves as a crucial energy relay base for the "West-East Electricity Transmission" initiative (Chinese: 西电东送).

[2] The commissioning of the Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project has alleviated Tibet's energy bottleneck, fundamentally resolving its long-standing power supply issues.

[3] The Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project is the world's highest-altitude and longest DC transmission line traversing permafrost regions.

[8] In June 2015, the project passed the power reversal test, enabling the first-ever transmission of Tibetan hydropower out of the region.

This expansion will significantly enhance the project's forward and reverse transmission capabilities, further strengthening its role in the region's energy infrastructure.
