en.Wedoany.com Reported - With the commencement of the Three Gorges New Waterway Project in Yichang, Hubei Province, the relocation project for the Three Gorges power transmission channels was launched simultaneously on June 8. The power authorities will relocate 48 transmission lines to ensure coordination between the construction of this major national landmark project and energy supply security. This was learned by reporters from State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd.

The Three Gorges Power Station serves as a crucial power supply pillar for Central, East, and South China. From June to September each year, the Three Gorges power transmission channels can deliver 316 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity daily, sufficient to meet the daily electricity needs of approximately 24 million households.

According to a relevant official from State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd., as the Three Gorges New Waterway Project will pass beneath multiple existing high-voltage transmission lines, to meet construction specifications and subsequent navigation requirements for ships, it is necessary to relocate 8 500-kilovolt main lines and 40 lines of 220 kilovolts and below.

Based on the hydrological rhythm of the Yangtze River and electricity consumption patterns, the relocation project for the Three Gorges power transmission channels has established a construction plan of "avoiding dry seasons, bypassing peak periods, phased relocation, and loop network power supply." High-voltage line outages will be concentrated from October to April each year, while low-voltage distribution network dismantling and reconnection will be carried out during monthly low-demand periods and early morning load gaps. It is expected that by the end of December this year, the relocation of 20 key preliminary lines will be completed.

The official from State Grid Hubei Electric Power Co., Ltd. stated that during the relocation period, the power authorities will rely on the mature loop network structure in the Three Gorges region, employing measures such as load shifting and temporary bypass construction to ensure that the daily average power transmission volume of the Three Gorges channels remains stable above 300 million kilowatt-hours during critical periods such as summer peak demand and cold wave supply assurance.
