Hydropower to come

THE building of a large hydropower station has begun on the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze River, authorities in Tibet said yesterday.

The Suwalong project, undertaken by China Huadian Corp, is at the junction of Mangkam County in the Tibet Autonomous Region and Batang County in Sichuan Province, said Qamdo resources development bureau, which administers Mangkam.

It has a designed capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts and will be able to generate about 5.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year. It will cost nearly 18 billion yuan (US$2.8 billion).
