Our experience shows:
- that once the technology is explained, both local governments and the public readily accept a transmission project involving HVDC Light.
- it is important to follow a systematic routing method, with key stakeholder consultation and public relations as a critical part of the process.
- meeting with town civil engineers and stressing the opportunities for collaboration is a key step in highlighting the benefits of HVDC Light transmission systems.
