China to increase cross-province power transmission in southwest

BEIJING, Oct 24 (Reuters) China plans to connect the power grids of the southwestern provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou and increase the power transmission capacity of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces, the state planner said on Tuesday.
The move comes as the world's top power user strives to reform its power system and to reduce power transmission barriers between provinces to boost energy consumption.
The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said in a statement that it aims to transmit at least 20 gigawatts from Sichuan and 13 GW from Yunnan to nearby provinces by the end of 2020, drawing on hydropower projects in the two provinces.
