Largest Dam of the World...!!
The complete operation of all the generators makes the Three Gorges dam the world's largest hydropower project, and the largest base for clean energy,"
The construction of the world's biggest hydropower plant began in 1994 and its first generating unit was connected to the grid in July 2003.
The installation of the project's 32nd 700-megawatt unit brought total capacity up to 22.5 gigawatts (GW), accounting for 11% of the country's total hydroelectric capacity. Britain's largest power station, Drax, produces 4GW.
The Three Gorges Dam in China is absolute largest in the world. Expected to hold over 39,300,000,000 in volume.
The official state news agency Xinhua said the dam had already generated a total of 564.8bn kilowatt-hours, saving nearly 200m tonnes of coal a year.
The dam, which first went into operation in 2003 at a cost of $22.5 billion, has a combined generating capacity of 22.5 million kilowatts (22,500 megawatts), the equivalent of fifteen nuclear reactors.
