China’s US$34 billion Baihetan, the World’s 2nd largest hydropower station after The Three Gorges Dam, counting down to full-run, all 16 million-kw units installed
China’s US$34 billion Baihetan, the World’s 2nd largest hydropower station reports all its 16 million-kilowatt hydro-generating units have been completely installed with the last generating rotor being lifted into place
The rotors are essential to sustain the safe and steady operation of the hydro-generator units in the long run
This means the hydropower station, located on the border between SW China’s Yunnan and Sichuan provinces has started pre-operation countdown
In July 2021, the project's first two 1-gigawatt (GW) turbines started operating
When all generators are up and running in July this year Baihetan will be able to produce more than 62 terawatt hours of electricity a year
A total of 52 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions are expected to be reduced when it is in full operation
Power generated by Baihetan will be sent to affluent provinces in China’s Yangtze River Delta including eastern provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang
Built by China Three Gorges Corp., the construction of Baihetan started in 2017
The project is part of China’s scheme to generate electricity and deliver it to high energy-consuming regions on the east coast
