Since 2026, the construction of clean energy bases for hydropower in China has accelerated comprehensively, and a number of major hydropower projects have been put into operation, providing solid support for ensuring energy security and promoting green and low-carbon development.

The total installed capacity of the Dadu River Jinchuan Hydropower Station is 860000 kilowatts, with a total of 4 mixed flow hydroelectric generators installed with a single capacity of 215000 kilowatts. This is the first unit to be put into operation.

As of now, the Dadu River Basin has concentrated over 20 million kilowatts of hydropower installed capacity, becoming one of China's important clean energy production bases. Keywords: energy, electricity

Not only the Dadu River, but also the construction of hydropower projects in the Jinsha River, Yalong River, and Lancang River basins has been accelerating comprehensively since the beginning of this year. The total installed capacity of 14 large hydropower stations in the Lancang River Basin is about 24.3 million kilowatts, forming a mature cascade development pattern; The upper reaches of the Jinsha River are focusing on promoting the construction of world-class hydropower stations such as Xulong and Yebatan, with a total planned scale of 57 million kilowatts for the clean energy base; The Yalong River basin aims for the integrated development of "water, wind, solar energy, hydrogen storage, and computing", and is expected to be built into a comprehensive clean energy base by 2035. As of the first quarter of 2026, the cumulative installed capacity of hydropower in China has reached 450 million kilowatts. (This article is from the official website www.seetao.com of Jian Dao.
