Description
On October 26, 2012, the feasibility report on power supply to the DPRK passed preliminary review by the experts group of Beijing Economic Research Institute under State Grid Corporation of China [SGCC] in Changchun. This means that the SGCC project to provide cross- border power supply to the DPRK, which has lasted for three years, is entering the activation phase. As the project is said to be nearly three years old, the start date of the project is sometime in 2009. The project will build a 97.8-kilometer of 66 kilovolt transmission line from Hunchun to Naso'n, or Rason, and construct a 66-kilovolt transformer substation in the DPRK Naso'n city. There is no financial nor implementation information available about the project.
