On December 20, 2022, the last unit of Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinshajiang River successfully completed 72-hour trial operation and was officially put into operation for power generation. Its operation marked the completion of the world's largest clean energy corridor, where six mega hydropower stations on the Yangtze, Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges and Gezhouba, work to transmit electricity from the resource-rich west to energy-consuming regions in the east.

71.7 mln, 300 bln

Along this 1,800-km-long "Clean Energy Corridor," the six hydropower stations have a combined installed generating capacity of 71.7 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to that of three Three Gorges Hydropower Stations. It generates 300 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity on average annually, which can meet the annual electricity demand of 360 million Chinese people.

3,185.9 bln, about 2.4 bln 

From 2003 when the first batch of units of the Three Gorges Project was commissioned to December 18, 2022, six giant power stations have generated 3,185.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to saving about 910 million tonnes of standard coal and reducing about 2.4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions.
