carbon-free sources: It will allow more renewables to be developed in Qinghai and Gansu provinces and deliver the electricity all the way to Henan in central China. ; China is promoting the technology, which allows long-haul transmission with little loss of power, to solve a vexing problem Its energy resources are thousands of kilometers inland from its densely populated coastal regions, according to The Japan Times. Making this line available for only carbon-free sources can help China achieve two of its energy goals, boosting renewable energy consumption while reducing idle capacity, State Grid said. It's the first UHV line in the world built to transmit only carbon-free electricity, its developer, State Grid Corp. of China, said in a statement. It could also drive more than 200 billion yuan and create almost 10,000 jobs in investments in renewables and other related industries, it said. UHV projects may account for 13 percent of 205 billion that's likely to be spent by the nation this year on new infrastructure, according to BloombergNEF.
