All 12 units of China s Wudongde hydropower station, the world s seventh-largest, went into operation Wednesday, local authorities said.
With a total installed capacity of 10.2 million kilowatts, the Wudongde hydropower station is a key project in China s west-east power transmission program. It sits on the Jinsha River near the provincial border of Yunnan and Sichuan.
The station s construction began in late 2015, and it started to generate electricity in late June last year.
By Tuesday, the station had produced 24.5 billion kWh of electricity, equal to that generated by around 7.68 million tonnes of standard coal, Wang Jintao, head of the Wudongde electricity plant under China Three Gorges Corporation, said.
