Hi Benny, take a look at the sentence below which is from an article about Line 5 subway construction in Beijing:

复八线建设时,尽管进行了调整,但是,由于系统复杂、造价高、体量大、用电多,造成运营能耗大。

What does the last part of the sentence 造成运营能耗大 means?

Thanks!

Hi Lee Kong, 造成运营能耗大 = cause the huge operation energy exhaust

As for the 复八线, I’ve never heard of this, let me check the newspaper and get back to you later

Hi Benny, please have a look at the following URL of an article and you’ll find 复 as in 复八线 over here. This is the article I was reading:
