The terminals are situated at Tianshengqiao Hydroelectric Plant 2 at 24°54′56″N 105°05′47″E and at Beijiao at 23°18′58″N 113°15′05″E near Guangzhou. There is a parallel running AC powerline via Pingguo, Laibin, Wuzhou and Luodong, but the DC line helps damping oscillations and stabilizing the system.
