Investment of R$ 23 billion in transmission will reinforce energy flow in the NE

SGBH (State Grid Brazil Holding), a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned company State Grid Corporation, laid the cornerstone on Monday (30) of a transmission line that will connect the Northeast to the Center-West to transport solar, wind and hydroelectric energy generated in the region.

The estimated investment is R$23 billion, with the project expected to be completed in 2029, with commercial operations starting in March 2030, within a 30-year concession contract. Named the Ultra High Voltage project in Northeast Brazil, the new system connects the cities of Graça Aranha (AM) and Silvânia (GO), passing through Tocantins, in a route of 1468 km.

The line will be built with technology direct current at ultra high voltage (800 kV), and will have two converter stations and support facilities. The transmission capacity will be 5 million kW, enough to serve around 12 million people.

The official launch of the work was attended by authorities from the sector, such as Gustavo Ataide, Secretary of Energy Transition of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Márcio Rea, general director of ONS, the acting governor of Goiás, Daniel Vilela, as well as Sun Tao, president of the SGBH Board,

Auction foresees R$8 billion in investments with entry of new transmission lines  

SGBH already has a history of operating in the country, being responsible for other major projects energy infrastructure, including the line that connects the Belo Monte plant (PA) to the Terminal Rio substation, in Paracambi (RJ).
