'China MEGA DAM Opens For Business to Become World's Largest by Unit Capacity'<br /><br />The world's largest dam by unit capacity is open for business after the first of its units - capable of storing up to one million kilowatts - began to turn.<br /><br />The Baihetan Dam on the Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze, is part of Chinese efforts to curb surging fossil fuel demand and bring about its ambition of carbon neutrality.<br /><br />Each unit at the hydroelectric plant is capable of producing 150 kilowatt-hours of electricity within a single rotation - equivalent to the monthly electricity consumption of an ordinary family.<br /><br />The opening came as China's ruling Communist Party prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary this week.<br /><br />#China #HydroPower #Baihetan
