[State Grid signed Brazil's largest power transmission concession project] State Grid Brazil Holding Company and the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Authority signed a franchise agreement for the "Northeast Brazil UHV Project" in Brasilia on the 3rd. The project is the largest power transmission concession in Brazil's history. On the same day, under the witness of Brazilian Minister of Mining and Energy Silveira, Chinese Ambassador to Brazil Zhu Qingqiao and other political and business people of the two countries, the State Grid Brazil Holding Company and the Brazilian Ministry of Mining and Energy, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Authority signed this agreement, which is called "New energy in Northeast Brazil to send ±800 kV UHVDC transmission project". According to reports, the Northeast UHV project is the largest transmission concession project in the history of Brazil, and the largest infrastructure construction project in the country in recent years. The project was successfully and independently won by the State Grid Corporation on December 15, 2023. This is the third overseas UHV transmission project won by the State Grid Corporation after the first and second phase of the Meilishan UHV transmission project in Brazil. The project includes the construction of 1,468 km ±800 kV UHVDC transmission lines, converter stations at both ends and modulation cameras, and related AC supporting projects, with a rated transmission capacity of 5 million kilowatts. The project will package and collect clean energy such as wind power, solar power and hydropower in the northeast and north of Brazil, through Maranhao, Tocantins and Goias states, to meet the electricity needs of about 12 million people in core areas such as the Federal District of the capital of Brazil, and is planned to be put into operation in 2029, with a franchise term of 30 years.
