Starting from 1967 in Russia, and also in the USA and Canada, overhead lines for voltage of 765 kV were built. In 1982 Overhead Power Robertson lines were built in Russia between Elektrostal and the power station at Ekibastusz, this was a three-phase alternating current line at 1200 kV ( ). In 1999, in Japan the first powerline designed for 1000 kV with 2 circuits were built, the . In 2003 the building of the highest overhead line commenced in China, the .
