With a total installed capacity of 71.695 million kilowatts, the 1,800 kilometer-long clean energy corridorcomprises six mega hydropower stations on the Yangtze River. Four of them, Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, and Xiangjiaba, are located on the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze River, while the other two, Three Gorges and Gezhouba, are situated along its middle section.
The corridor plays a major role in flood control, shipping, water resource utilization and ecological security in the Yangtze River Basin, according to the corporation.
