World's First Nuclear Power Integration into Ultra-High Voltage Project Commissioned, Yantai-Weihai 1000 kV Project Opens Up the "Main Artery" for Nuclear Power Transmission from Jiaodong
On October 10, 2026, the Yantai-Weihai 1000 kV UHV project was officially completed and put into operation. This project is not only the first newly built UHV AC project commissioned during the national "15th Five-Year Plan" period, but also the world's first benchmark project to achieve direct integration of nuclear power into a UHV AC grid, marking the full completion of the ultra-large-scale baseload transmission corridor for the Jiaodong Peninsula nuclear power base. As the core cluster of Shandong's nuclear power development, the coastal areas of the Jiaodong Peninsula, including Yantai and Weihai, host the vast majority of Shandong's nuclear power units. With the advancement of major nuclear energy projects such as Haiyang Nuclear Power, the Yantai-Weihai region has rapidly transformed from a traditional power receiving end into a province-level strategic power sending end for nuclear energy and new energy, with the maximum surplus power transmission demand expected to exceed 30 million kilowatts by the end of the "15th Five-Year Plan"...
