Has the Medog Hydropower Station in China been built?

Medog hydropower station is still in the stage of survey and design, and construction has not yet started. At present, the Medog Hydropower Station, which is still in the investigation stage, is located in the "big bend" canyon section 260 kilometers from Paicun (district) in Milin County to Xirang Village in Medog County in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. The river has a drop of 2350m and an average annual discharge of 60 billion m? .

The straight-line distance between the bend and the river is 35 kilometers, which can be used as a huge diversion tunnel. Six large hydropower stations with 6.5438+million kilowatts are arranged along the Xirangqu River Basin, each with a drop of 400 meters. The total installed capacity is 60 million kilowatts. Become the second super hydropower station in the world. Cross the Himalayas to the downstream city of Medog to generate electricity.

The development of hydropower resources in southeast Tibet will have great economic benefits: for example, the construction and development of Medog Hydropower Station alone, due to the small number of immigrants and the large loss of inundation, initially estimated its power generation benefits, with an annual power generation of 200 billion kWh, equivalent to the total hydropower generation of 204.3 billion kWh in 2000. It can replace 80 million tons of standard coal or 40 million tons of oil. Its quantity is equivalent to 56% of China's annual oil import of 7 1 10,000 tons.
