The power that feeds my location is Hydro generated and raised to 500Kvdc from 900Km away.
The project for DC distribution was started in 1958.

Oh that's quite interesting thanks for sharing that.

I was originally against DC power distribution but there are just too many advantages in some areas. That's even considering using power converters to help distribute the power.
