Central Tibet Networking Project

In 2011 and 2014, Tibet finalized the Qinghai-Tibet Networking Project and the Sichuan-Tibet Networking Project, respectively, effectively addressing the power deficiency in central and eastern Tibet; however, the backbone network infrastructure of Tibet remained unconnected throughout the entire region.^[1]

In November 2018, the Central Tibet connectivity Project was finalized and integrated into the grid, achieving the connectivity of the Qinghai-Tibet Interconnection Project and the Sichuan-Tibet Interconnection Project. The completion of the central Tibet interconnection project signifies the preliminary establishment of the primary framework for the 500 kV grid in Tibet, ushering the Tibet power grid into the ultra-high voltage era.^[2] The Central Tibet Networking Project facilitates long-term access to a railroad traction station and effectively ensures the power supply requirements for the Sichuan–Tibet railway and Yunnan-Tibet railway.^[3]

This Project in the Tibet Autonomous Region was awarded the 2021 FIDIC Engineering Project Excellence Award.^[4]
