A project to relay transmission lines was completed across the country, thus reducing the loss of power in transmission.

Meanwhile, production processes at the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex and Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex have been equipped with advanced reactive power compensation devices and frequency converters, which leads to the improvement of productive efficiency.
