Assembly of Donghaean-Seoul Metropolitan Area Transmission Line Tower No.1 Completed... "On Schedule for Completion in 2026"

East Coast - Capital Region Transmission Line Tower No. 1.

The East Coast-Capital Region transmission line recently completed the assembly of its first tower. This line is considered a key national infrastructure network that transmits power generated on the East Coast to the Capital Region, addressing the transmission network shortage in the East Coast area and supplying electricity to advanced industries.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 23rd that Lee Ho-hyun, Director of the Energy Office, visited the 'East Coast Converter Station' site, where land construction is in full progress, and attended the completion ceremony for the assembly of the first tower.

Director Lee expressed, "Above all, I extend my deep gratitude to all local communities who helped us begin the construction of the transmission line," and urged, "Please ensure thorough safety management throughout the construction process, maintain harmonious cooperation with residents, and do your best to preserve the surrounding environment."

According to the Ministry, the East Coast-Capital Region transmission line had seen no progress since its planning in 2008; however, this year, the power development of the eastern section, which accounts for more than half of the line, was approved, and construction has begun sequentially. The remaining western section is also undergoing related permits, with full efforts being made to complete the project on schedule by 2026.

The Ministry stated that since the power grid is a vital facility directly connected to the public's daily life and the economy, it will actively support the construction of the national core power grid. To this end, it plans to announce a comprehensive innovation plan for the power system, including support and investment for power grid construction, as well as power supply plans for advanced industry-specialized complexes such as semiconductors, within this year to continuously strengthen power grid support.
