Where is Xiluodu Hydropower Station?

Leibo County, Sichuan Province and Yongshan County, Yunnan Province.

Xiluodu Hydropower Station is the backbone project of the national "power transmission from west to east", which is located on the Jinsha River at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. The project mainly focuses on power generation, which has comprehensive benefits such as flood control, sand blocking, improvement of upstream shipping conditions, and cascade compensation for downstream power stations.

Xiluodu Hydropower Station on Jinsha River is located in the Jinsha River Gorge, bordering Leibo County in Sichuan Province and Yongshan County in Yunnan Province. Nine 770,000 kW giant hydro-generator sets are installed in the left and right bank power stations, with a total installed capacity of13.86 million kW, which is second only to the Three Gorges and Itaipu Hydropower Station in Brazil, and ranks third among the power stations under construction and built in the world.

Extended data:

First, the benefits of sand fixation.

The middle reaches of Jinsha River is one of the main sediment-producing areas of Yangtze River. The average sediment concentration of Xiluodu dam site for many years is 1.72kg/m3, and the average sediment transport of Jinsha River at Xiluodu dam site for many years is 247 million tons, accounting for 47% of the sediment entering the Three Gorges Reservoir.

According to the calculation and analysis, after Xiluodu Reservoir has been operated alone for 60 years, the amount of incoming sediment in the Three Gorges reservoir area is reduced by more than 34. 1% compared with that in the natural state, and the median particle size is refined by about 40%, which plays an important role in promoting the efficiency of the Three Gorges Project and reducing the siltation in Chongqing Port.

Second, economic benefits.

With the construction of Xiluodu Hydropower Station, the improvement of land and water traffic conditions inside and outside the reservoir area, and the investment of resettlement and project development and construction funds, it will certainly play a positive role in promoting the infrastructure construction, resource development and utilization, industrial structure optimization and economic development of counties in the reservoir area. Due to the regulating effect of the reservoir on runoff, the downstream shipping conditions will be directly improved, and the reservoir area can also be partially navigable.
