The first generating units of the China Huadian Corp’s Yebatan Hydropower Station – China’s highest-altitude arch dam power project currently under construction and the largest hydropower project on the Sichuan-Xizang section of the upper Jinsha River – officially began generating electricity on Saturday. As a key project under the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–25), its launch marks another significant breakthrough for China in building ultra-high arch dams and developing clean energy in high-altitude, frigid regions.
