Cool! Which led me further down the rabbit hole: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current - HVDC uses voltages between 100 kV and 1,500 kV. - HVDC can be cheaper for 500+ mile runs - HVDC allows power transmission between unsynchronized AC transmission systems - Recent advances make UHVDC feasible (800kV+)
