If I understood right, the question refers to the record AC voltage transmission line, and it should be the1. MV (Ultra High Voltage =1, kV) on Ekibastuz-Kokshetau line (Kazakhstan)

I think you can consider about1MV in China, up tokV in Canada.

Basically, real criteria is the distance through the energy is transmitted. This is why AC voltage in Europe is not so high.
