China Advances Hydropower Projects to Boost Renewable Energy Capacity
China's hydropower capacity is set to expand significantly by 2026, driven by major projects, including the Dadu River and Huanglong stations. This strategic focus on hydropower is crucial for enhancing energy security and integrating renewables into the national grid.

By 2026, China aims to enhance its hydropower capacity, with projects like the Dadu River Zhentouba and Shaping stations in Sichuan, which will contribute 660,000 kilowatts. CHN Energy has already installed over 20 million kilowatts of hydropower capacity and continues to lead in renewable energy expansion, with additional projects such as the 1,200MW Huoshan Pumped Storage Power Station and the 2,100MW Huanglong Pumped Storage Plant.
The latter will stabilize the Gansu grid and support national energy security. The Guangxi Guilin Longsheng Pumped Storage Power Station will also contribute significantly to clean energy distribution. These developments emphasize China's commitment to reducing fossil fuel reliance and enhancing ecological balance through effective water management.
