Chinese Power Plant Will Exceed Plans
Beijing (UPI) July 4, 2004 China's Three Gorges hydropower plant was expected Sunday to generate 37.5 billion kilowatts of electricity this year, 15 billion more than originally planned. The China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation said eight generators have been operating at the Three Gorges hydropower plant since July 10, 2003, reported Xinhua, China's main government-run news agency. The total generating capacity had reached 5.6 million kilowatts and the actual output had reached 22 billion kilowatts so far, said Deputy Manager-General Bi Yaxiong. Three more generators, with an installed capacity of 700,000 kilowatts each, will be installed and go into operation in the second half of this year. The gigantic water-control project will have 26 generators and will have an annual generating capacity of 84.7 billion kilowatts of electricity when it is completed in 2009. By the end of 2003, the hydropower plant had generated 8.6 billion kilowatts of electricity, which was transmitted to areas in central, eastern and southwestern China. All rights reserved.
