Gansu-Zhejiang UHV project enters DC system commissioning

The grounding electrode passing acceptance is a narrow milestone, but it matters as the first DC-system unit to clear verification on a 2,370-kilometer, six-region corridor — a reminder that China's UHV buildout advances through component-level sign-offs rather than headline energization. The real signal for power-market watchers is timing: with operation slated for 2027, this is early-stage progress, not near-term supply. Whether subsequent DC system checks proceed on schedule is the open question, since each one gates the commissioning timeline.
