Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project
The HVDC Qinghai-Tibet, Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project, or Qinghai-Tibet Interconnection Project began operation in December 2011, extending from Xining in Qinghai Province in the east to Lhasa in Tibet in the west.
Tibet, rich in hydropower resources, serves as a crucial energy relay base for the "West-East Electricity Transmission" initiative. However, the region has faced significant challenges, including severe power shortages during the winter and difficulties in consuming excess power during the water-abundant summer months. The commissioning of the Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project has alleviated Tibet's energy bottleneck, fundamentally resolving its long-standing power supply issues.
