Jinping-I Hydropower Station, Hydroelectric power station in Sichuan, China.
The Jinping-I facility includes a 305-meter tall arch dam on the Yalong River, incorporating six generators for electricity production.
The engineering institutes and China's Ministry of Water Resources initiated the development plans for the Jinping hydropower projects during the 1960s.
The construction of Jinping-I led to the relocation of 7,500 local residents, reshaping the social structure of communities in the Liangshan region.
With an installed capacity of 3,600 megawatts, the station generates between 16 and 18 terawatt-hours of electricity annually for eastern China.
The reservoir created by the dam holds 7.76 billion cubic meters of water, supporting both power generation and water management of the Yalong River.
