There are many water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. What are the favorable conditions for the implementation of hydropower development in the upper reaches of the Yellow River? 1. Economic development needs: energy conservation and emission reduction to develop a low-carbon economy has become an important reference factor for governments at all levels to assess their achievements, so in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, it is particularly proposed to accelerate the development of clean energy such as hydropower, wind power, solar power generation and nuclear power, among which hydropower is the most mature technology, with the lowest risk and the most stable comprehensive income, which meets the requirements of a low-carbon economy.

2. The pressure of land acquisition and resettlement is small: compared with the Three Gorges Power Station, The site selection of many power stations planned in the upper reaches of the Yellow River belongs to areas with high altitude and thin population density. After the completion of the hydropower station, there will be a considerable area of flooded areas. The land acquisition and resettlement in the flooded areas has always been a prominent contradiction, huge cost and very sensitive issue in the construction and development of hydropower stations. The million-resettlement project of the Three Gorges Project has not ended until today. The relatively harsh natural environment in the upper reaches of the Yellow River has created the advantage of easy land acquisition and resettlement.

3. Cascade rolling basin development: Longyangxia Power Station, the leading power station in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, was completed in the 198s. Its reservoir capacity reaches 27.4 billion cubic meters (the storage capacity of the Three Gorges Power Station, the largest in the world, is 39.4 billion cubic meters), which provides a unique condition for the rolling development of power stations in the downstream basin of Longyangxia Power Station. It can store a large amount of water in wet season and release water in dry season to ensure the power generation of downstream power stations.

4. Geological conditions: There are many and deep canyons in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, which is very conducive to the construction of Longyangxia Dam, a power station with high dams and large units. Laxiwa hydropower station dam is 25 meters high and has a capacity of 4.2 million kilowatts. Lijiaxia hydropower station dam is more than 1 meters high and has a capacity of 1.6 million kilowatts. The dam of Gongboxia Power Station is 1 meters high and has a capacity of 1.5 million kilowatts. The dam height of Jishixia Power Station is also nearly 1 meters, with a capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts ...
