Projects › Renewable Energy - Dajiantan 8MW Hydro Power Project, China

The project is situated on Daxije River in the town of Yajiang, Wulong County.  The project has a total installed capacity of 8MW and a potential annual net electricity generation of 31,313MWh.  The electricity generated by the hydropower tunnel displaces the electricity on the Central China Power Grid, which is primarily supplied with fossil fuel generated power ensuring that genuine greenhouse gas emissions reductions are made.  The measured annual GHG emissions reductions from the project range between 14,547 - 18,188tCO₂e.

In addition to the environmental benefits the project has also made positive contributions to sustainable development by alleviating the power shortage in Wulong County, boosting the social and economic development of local minority areas including the creation of 43 permanent jobs during the operational life of the plant and also reduces pressure on local vegetation as the collection of firewood reduces.
