On June 28, the first batch of units of Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River, the largest hydropower station under construction in the world, the largest single capacity in the world and the second largest installed capacity in the world, was officially put into operation to generate electricity.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is a huge project with complex geological conditions. Located in the hot and dry valley of Jinsha River, Baihetan Hydropower Station ranks first in the world in terms of comprehensive technical difficulty, and first in the world in six main technical indicators: the single capacity of hydrogenerator is 1 million kilowatts; The largest underground cavern group in the world; The size of cylindrical tailwater surge chamber is the first in the world; The seismic parameter of 300-meter high arch dam ranks first in the world. The largest group of non-pressure spillway tunnels in the world. For the first time, low-heat cement concrete was used throughout the dam.

Baihetan Hydropower Station has a total installed capacity of 16 million kilowatts, ranking second in the world after the Three Gorges Project. Single capacity of 1 million kilowatts, ranked first in the world. After the Baihetan Hydropower Station is put into operation, it will form the world's largest clean energy corridor together with the Three Gorges Project, Gezhouba Project, and Wudongde, Xiluodu and Xiangjiaba hydropower stations on the Jinsha River, which is of great significance to improving the energy structure and promoting the realization of the goal of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality". China Three Gorges Group is based on the new development stage, the implementation of new development concepts, and the construction of new development patterns, to create another major country for the Republic of China.
