Aba–Chengdu East (阿坝—成都东) achieved full-line connection for its 1,000-kilovolt alternating-current transmission project, supporting year-end trial operation.

The Aba–Chengdu East (阿坝—成都东) project completed full-line conductor connection on Aug. 26. The final section of transmission conductor was pulled into place in Li County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan.

The project is a 1,000-kilovolt ultra-high-voltage alternating-current transmission line. The reported milestone concerns physical line connection, not the start of commercial power transmission.

Completion of the line connection established the basis for trial operation by the end of 2026. The source does not provide the route length, transmission capacity, project cost or an exact trial-operation date.
