The line was designed to transmit electricity produced by coal-fired generators with a total capacity of 2.4 million kilowatts in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, both of which are rich in coal. According to plan, construction of the line will begin at the end of the year and is scheduled to be completed and put into operation in 2007.
