The project is part of the Mengxi–Tianjin South ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission corridor. It will run from the 500-kV Dalu Substation to the 500-kV Buertao Substation, and further connect to the 1,000-kV Ordos UHV Substation.
The development includes two new 500-kV substations at Dalu and Buertao, along with 279 kilometres of transmission lines and 340 towers. The total investment for the project is RMB 1.94 billion (around USD 283 million).
