According to a news release from the Three Gorges Corporation on February 14, as of February 14, the cumulative power generation of the Xiluodu Hydropower Station exceeded 600 billion kilowatt hours, which is equivalent to saving 1 standard coal800 million tons, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 49.4 billion tons.
Xiluodu Hydropower Station is located in the Jinsha River section at the junction of Leibo County, Sichuan Province and Yongshan County, Yunnan Province, mainly for power generation, taking into account the comprehensive benefits of flood control, sand retention, improving the navigation conditions of the reservoir area and the river section under the dam, and installing a total of 18 hydro-generator sets with a single capacity of 770,000 kilowatts, with a capacity of 13.86 million kilowatts. The Xiluodu Hydropower Station project started in December 2005, the first batch of units was put into operation in July 2013, and all units were put into operation at the end of June 2014.
At present, it is the critical period of power supply during the Spring Festival, Xiluodu Power Plant fully cooperates with the power grid to adjust the operation mode of the unit, strengthens equipment inspection and diagnostic analysis, and strictly implements the 24-hour emergency duty system to ensure the safety and reliability of electricity.
