Energy infrastructure construction and enterprises' Artificial Intelligence development: Evidence from China's ultra-high voltage transmission projects
Ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission projects are a key component of China's energy supply-side reforms, improving the efficiency and reliability of the power system. While their macro-level importance is well recognized, evidence on their impact on firm-level artificial intelligence (AI) development remains limited. This study addresses this gap by exploiting the staggered rollout of UHV transmission projects across prefecture-level cities as a quasi-natural experiment. Using a multi-period difference-in-diffe…
Cities that gained ultra-high voltage transmission projects saw listed enterprises advance their AI development more than comparison cities, through stronger innovation, larger resource bases and better regional finance.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1457 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
