The Belo Monte Ultra-High Voltage Direct Current Phase II project in Brazil, constructed and operated by China's State Grid, has established a major clean energy transmission line spanning 2,534 kilometers to connect hydroelectric power from the Amazon basin to southeastern industrial centers. Building on this success, State Grid is constructing a new 1,468-kilometer ultra-high voltage power line to transmit wind, solar, and hydropower from Brazil's northeast to central and eastern load centers, advancing Brazil's green energy infrastructure and energy security.
