The Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station, the world’s largest hydroelectric power plant under China Gorges Corporation (CTG), has entered full operation on June 28 to meet the coming summer power usage peak, CTG has announced.
A total of 34 generators were put into operation, with daily electricity output reaching nearly 500 million kilowatt-hours at a peak capacity of over 21 million kilowatts. The 500 million kilowatt-hours power can meet one-month demand for about 5 million common Chinese households.
CTG vowed to further secure the power supply amid high temperatures and heavy rainfall, and enhance the construction of a clean energy system to achieve carbon emission reduction goal.
