6月2日，目前世界最高的輸電鐵塔開展跨越長江的導線施放工作。作為國家重點電力專案泰州鳳城至無錫梅里500千伏輸電線路工程的重要組成部分和江蘇境內第六條穿越長江的高等級電力通道，該線路貫通後可以將長江北岸的新能源送往江南，全面提升長三角地區的綠色可持續發展能力。

Two 385-meter-tall power transmission towers， the tallest of their kind in the world， began the wiring process on Thursday across the Yangtze River， the longest river in Asia。

The twin towers built on each side of the Yangtze in eastern China‘s Jiangsu Province are crucial to the 500 kV power transmission project spanning the river。

It is one of the most technically difficult cross-river network transmission projects in China， according to the State Grid Jiangsu Electric Power Co。， Ltd。

Twenty-four electricity wires weighing about 410 tonnes will stretch across the 2-km-wide river banks and be installed high above China’s busiest waterway， said Chen Songtao of the company， adding that water traffic control will be implemented to ensure safety standards during construction。

The 500 kV power transmission project is expected to be completed in July this year。 Once operational， it will send renewable energy such as wind power from the north of the Yangtze to the south， aiming to supply electricity for 8 million households。
