Which country has the largest hydropower station in the world?

The largest hydropower station in the world is in China, it is the Three Gorges Hydropower Station. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has a dam elevation of 185 meters, a water storage elevation of 175 meters, and a reservoir length of 2,335 meters. The total investment is 95.46 billion yuan and 32 hydropower units with a single capacity of 700,000 kilowatts are installed. The last hydropower unit of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station was put into operation on July 4, 2012. This means that the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, with an installed capacity of 22.4 million kilowatts, has become the world's largest hydropower station and clean energy production base on July 4, 2012. .Overview:

The full name of the Three Gorges Project is the Yangtze River Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project. On December 14, 1994, the Three Gorges Project officially started based on preliminary preparations. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is currently the hydropower station with the largest installed capacity in the world. The unit size and capacity are large, the water head varies widely, and the design and manufacturing difficulties are among the most difficult in the world. The power station is equipped with 32 giant 700,000-kilowatt units, plus two 50,000-kilowatt power supply units, with a total installed capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts and a total construction period of 17 years. Benefits:

The Three Gorges Project is the largest water conservancy project in China and the world. It is a key backbone project for the management and development of the Yangtze River. It has comprehensive benefits such as flood control, power generation, irrigation, and shipping. After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the storage capacity provided by its huge storage capacity will enable the downstream Jingjiang area to withstand a once-in-a-century flood, and will also contribute to the management of Dongting Lake and the comprehensive repair of the Jingjiang embankment. As of the end of 2014, the total installed capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station was 22.5 million kilowatts. Among them, the Three Gorges Power Plant generated 98.819 billion kilowatt hours last year, setting a world record for annual power generation by a single hydropower station. :

The Three Gorges Hydropower Station is the largest hydropower station in the world and the largest engineering project ever constructed in China. The many issues such as immigration and environment caused by it have always been accompanied by huge controversy from the moment it was started. The Three Gorges Hydropower Station has more than ten functions, including shipping, power generation, planting, etc. The construction of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station was approved by the National People's Congress of China in 1992. Construction officially started in 1994. Water storage and power generation began on the afternoon of June 1, 2003, and it was completed in 2009.
