The Ekibastuz–Kokshetau is a power transmission line in Kazakhstan. It runs at 1,150 kV and holds the record for having the highest operating transmission voltage in the world.
Construction started, and the line entered service during the Soviet era. Designated as power line number 1101, it runs 432 kilometres (268 mi) from Ekibastuz to Kokshetau. It is mounted on electrical pylons with an average height of 60 metres (200 ft). The weight of the conductors is approximately 50 tons.
The extension of the power line to Elektrostal, near Moscow in Russia was also designed to handle the full 1150 kV, but currently only operates at 500 kV. Moreover, the experimental transmission line in Beliy Rast, near Dmitrov in Moscow region, was also designed to be operated at 1150 kV, but later was disassembled.
