CHENGDU, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) — With the last unit of the Yinjiang hydroelectric power station in southwest China's Sichuan Province connecting to the grid on Friday morning, the province's total installed hydropower capacity has exceeded a record 100 million kW, accounting for about a quarter of the country's total.
As a key hub in the country's west-to-east power transmission program, Sichuan exports about one-third of the province's electricity annually.
According to data from the Sichuan Electric Power Company of China National Grid Corporation (State Grid), since 1998, when power transmission outside the province began, Sichuan has supplied over 1.9 trillion kWh of clean electricity to central, eastern, and other regions of China. This volume is enough to cover the combined annual electricity consumption of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces.
The Yinjiang Hydroelectric Power Station is located in Panzhihua City, Sichuan Province, on the Jinsha River. Its total installed capacity is 390,000 kW. Yan Ruiping, chief engineer of the plant's operating company, noted that once fully operational, the station will be capable of supplying over 1.6 billion kWh of clean energy annually, equivalent to a reduction of 1.3 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Sichuan, also known as the "Province of a Thousand Rivers," has abundant hydropower resources. -0-
