Guangdong Province’s Largest Hydropower Project Begins Construction
According to China News Network, on April 1, 2025, the construction of Guangdong Province’s largest hydropower project officially commenced. This project is significantly important for the local energy sector.
As part of China’s strategy to enhance renewable energy production, the hydropower facility aims to achieve rapid development and integration into the existing energy grid. Located in Shanshan County, the project is expected to utilize an investment of approximately 1 billion yuan.
The hydropower project, known as the A-level project, will have a total installed capacity of around 1.2 gigawatts (GW) and is projected to generate over 5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually. This energy output will significantly contribute to the region’s green energy initiatives, reducing carbon emissions by approximately 16.17 million tons and sulfur dioxide emissions by about 3.69 million tons.
The project covers an area of around 95 square kilometers and requires the construction of associated infrastructure to support the energy production. Once operational, it is expected to produce an average of 2,200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
By February 2025, Guangdong’s total installed capacity for renewable energy is projected to reach 6,655 MW, with wind power contributing around 1,222 MW. This makes Guangdong the leading province in the country for renewable energy capacity.
The overall construction area of the A-level project is expected to cover about 22 square kilometers, with installed facilities capable of generating 21 billion kWh of electricity per year.
