Mengdigou Hydropower Station successfully intercepted the flow--Seetao

On October 28th, as the last stone material was filled into Longkou, the flow of the Yalong River was successfully diverted through a diversion tunnel, and the Mengdigou Hydropower Station on the Yalong River, which was jointly built by China Energy Engineering Gezhouba Group, successfully achieved the interception of the river. This move marks the official transition of the power station into the construction phase of the main projects such as the dam and factory building, and also signifies significant progress in the construction of the country's first integrated water, wind, and solar base. The Mengdigou Hydropower Station is located at the border of Jiulong County in Garze Prefecture and Muli County in Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is currently the largest hydropower project under construction in the Yalong River basin, with an installed capacity of 2.4 million kilowatts. As the fifth level power station developed for the "one reservoir and seven levels" in the middle reaches of the Yalong River, it is not only the core supporting power source of the Yazhong project group, which is a demonstration base for the integration of water, wind, and solar energy in the basin, but its construction can also drive the coordinated development of new energy such as wind power and photovoltaics, which is 1.6 times its own installed capacity. After the power station is completed and put into operation, it is expected to generate an average of 10.4 billion kilowatt hours of electricity per year, which can meet the clean electricity needs of about 4.75 million households for one year. Approximately 3.136 million tons of standard coal can be saved annually, resulting in a corresponding reduction of approximately 8.278 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This has profound significance for optimizing regional energy structure, promoting rural revitalization, and promoting sustainable economic and social development in Tibetan areas.
