Sichuan-Tibet Networking Project

The Sichuan-Tibet Networking Project (Chinese: 川藏联网工程), or Sichuan-Tibet Interconnection Project, formally referred to as the Sichuan-Tibet Interconnection Transmission and Transformation Project, HVDC Sichuan-Tibet, seeks to link the power grid of Chamdo in Tibet with that of Sichuan, thereby terminating the prolonged isolation of the Chamdo region and fundamentally addressing the critical electricity shortage and power deficiency in the southern areas of Chamdo and Garzê in Sichuan. The project spans over 1,500 kilometers, predominantly situated in high mountainous and uninhabited regions, with an average elevation of 3,850 meters and a maximum elevation of 4,980 meters, considered the most arduous power transmission endeavor in the world.
