The receiving-end measurement passed the 40-billion-kilowatt-hour milestone. As of 00:00 on October 17, the Yubei converter station had cumulatively received 40.004 billion kilowatt-hours through the Hami–Chongqing link.
The figure measures delivered electrical energy, not transmission power capacity. Separately, ±800 kilovolts specifies the voltage of the ultra-high-voltage direct-current link. The report does not state its rated power in megawatts or gigawatts.
This is the project described as delivering Xinjiang electricity to Chongqing. It is distinct from the Gansu–Zhejiang project discussed above. The supplied update does not specify the cumulative measurement’s starting date, the generation-source mix, or electricity allocated specifically to data centers.
