The Three Gorges Power Station is fully operational for the first time this year, with a total power of 22.5 million kilowatts.

CCTV news report,Recently, all 34 units of the Three Gorges Power Station were fully operational, achieving full load operation for the first time this year, fully ensuring the power supply for the Hangzhou Asian Games.Recently, affected by the continuous rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin, the inflow of the Three Gorges Power Station has continued to increase. On the premise of ensuring the safety of flood control in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Three Gorges Power Station has gradually increased the outflow of the dam and achieved full load operation for the first time this year.The total power generation reaches 22.5 million kilowatts.

It is understood that six cascade hydropower stations on the main stream of the Yangtze River, including the Three Gorges, Baihetan and Xiluodu, form the world's largest clean energy corridor, with a total installed capacity of 71.695 million kilowatts and can generate about 300 billion kilowatt-hours of clean energy every year.

Since the start of the Asian Games, a total of 2.23 billion kWh of electric energy has been delivered to Zhejiang, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.84 million tons, helping to create the first carbon-neutral Asian Games.

The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the largest hydropower station in the world and the largest engineering project ever constructed in China.

The dam elevation is 185 meters, the water storage elevation is 175 meters, the reservoir length is 2,335 meters, and the static investment is 135.266 billion yuan.

The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has more than ten functions, including shipping, power generation, planting, etc. It has also developed a Three Gorges Dam tourist area, which can be visited and visited for free.
