What is the major national project of Baihetan Hydropower Station?

Baihetan Hydropower Station is a major project of national power transmission from west to east.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is a major national project to transmit electricity from west to east, and it is the largest hydropower project under construction in the world with the highest technical difficulty. The world's largest hydro-generator set with a single unit capacity of one million kilowatts has achieved a major breakthrough in China's high-end equipment manufacturing.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is located on the Jinsha River at the junction of ningnan county in Sichuan Province and Qiaojia County in Yunnan Province. Developed and constructed by China Three Gorges Group, the total installed capacity is 160,000 kilowatts, and * * * installed capacity is16 sets of global single-machine hydropower units with maximum power of one million kilowatts independently developed by China.

The main project of the power station started construction in July 2007+2065438. The first two units have been put into operation to generate electricity, and all units will be put into operation to generate electricity in July 2022. After the power station is completed and put into operation, it will become the second largest hydropower station in the world after the Three Gorges Project.

Benefit of Baihetan Hydropower Station

First of all, the gap between the Jinsha River and ships is not suitable for navigation, but after the completion of Baihetan Hydropower Station, the traffic conditions in the downstream port area can be effectively improved and the Jinsha River can be fully utilized.

Secondly, China, as a hydropower station, spends a lot of money, and naturally takes a fancy to its hydropower generation capacity. The single unit capacity of Baihetan Hydropower Station is the first million-kilowatt hydropower unit in the world, even nearly 1/3 higher than the 700,000 kilowatts of Three Gorges Hydropower Station.

Baihetan Hydropower Station * * * is equipped with eight million kilowatt hydropower units, which can generate 70 billion kWh of electricity every year after all of them are put into operation. If China puts this huge amount of electricity into industry, it will bring huge economic effects! Although Baihetan Hydropower Station was a "golden cave" when it was completed, it is also a "cash cow" after it is put into full operation.
