World’s Largest Hydroelectric Power Plant

Introduction

The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River is the world’s largest hydroelectric power plant. The dam was completed in 2006, but construction on the project began in 1992, and was at its peak in 2004. The dam itself is 328 meters (1,062 ft) high and 514 meters (1,815 ft) long. Its total length is 2.16 kilometers (1.32 mi). Reservoir capacity is 3 billion cubic meters (107 billion gallons).

The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River is the world’s largest hydroelectric power plant. The dam was completed in 2006, but construction on the project began in 1992, and was at its peak in 2004. The dam holds back water from flooding an area of 4,200 square kilometers (1,600 sq mi) to create a reservoir that can store up to 32 billion cubic meters (1 trillion gallons) of water.

The Three Gorges Dam has two main purposes: to control flooding and generate electricity for domestic use or export via transmission lines to other countries like Vietnam or Thailand where there are large industrial facilities needing electricity during peak times such as morning hours when demand is highest (due to factories being opened).

The dam was completed in 2006, but construction on the project began in 1992, and was at its peak in 2004.

The dam was completed in 2006, but construction on the project began in 1992, and was at its peak in 2004. The dam is a part of the larger Red River Campaign that includes five hydroelectric dams and two hydroelectric power stations on the Red River.

The total cost of this project was $9 billion USD ($11.7 billion CAD) to build.

The dam itself is 328 meters (1,062 ft) high and 514 meters (1,815 ft) long.

The dam itself is 328 meters (1,062 ft) high and 514 meters (1,815 ft) long. The main powerhouse, which contains three hydroelectric generators, has a capacity of 3.6 MW each.

The total length of the dam’s intake channel is 2.16 kilometers (1.32 mi).

The intake channel is 1,200 feet (366 meters) long and it’s located at an elevation of 588 feet (180 meters).

Reservoir capacity is 3 billion cubic meters (107 billion gallons).

The reservoir has a capacity of 3 billion cubic meters (107 billion gallons). It’s 328 meters (1,062 ft) high and 514 meters (1,815 ft) long.

A huge hydroelectric dam

Hydroelectric dams are used to generate electricity. The largest hydroelectric dam in the world is located on the Black Sea, near Bulgaria. It’s called Halkidiki and it has a capacity of 11,000 MWs (megawatts). This means that it can produce about 23% of all electricity consumed by Bulgaria each year!

Hydroelectric dams can be found all over the world; however, they’re especially common in areas with high demand for electricity such as Australia and South America.

Conclusion

The Three Gorges Dam, which has been called “the world’s largest hydroelectric project,” is located on the Yangtze River in China. It was completed in 2006 after over 10 years of construction and has since helped to bring electricity and jobs to the region. This project is a good example of how modern technology can be used for both good and evil – it produces huge amounts of energy without harming any living thing, but also deprives thousands of people from their homes along its banks.
