China's planned mega hydropower project will generate over three times energy than the Three Gorges Dam, currently the world's biggest.
The government has earmarked one trillion yuan for the project, making it the most ambitious single infrastructure project on Earth.The Chinese government has approved the construction of a massive hydroelectric power plant over the world’s largest dam to be built over the sacred Yarlung Tsangpo River in the Tibet autonomous region. When ready, the power plant will generate three times as much energy as the one over Three Gorges Dam, currently the world’s largest hydropower project.
China’s ambitions in hydroelectric energy were evident as early as 2008 when the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s biggest dam, was completed. Power generation began in 2012 and currently supplies clean energy to over five million households every month. The river’s lower reaches have a vertical drop of 6,561 feet over 31 miles . This alone has the potential to generate 70 million kilowatts of power, authorities have previously said about the project site.
The government has earmarked one trillion yuan for the project, making it the most ambitious single infrastructure project on the planet to date.
