Belo Monte Transmissora de Energia (BMTE)

Belo Monte Transmissora de Energia (BMTE) is a special purpose company established to construct, operate, and maintain the ±800 kV direct current (DC) Xingu/Estreito transmission line and related facilities. The project spans over 2,000 kilometers across four Brazilian states, transmitting electricity generated by the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant to the Southeast region of Brazil.

BMTE is responsible for Brazil’s first ultra-high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission bipole, including two converter stations and electrode lines that form essential elements for efficiently transporting large-scale renewable energy over long distances.
