China Sets Target for Conventional Hydropower Capacity to Reach Around 410 GW by 2030

Deep News06-25

Two key government departments have issued a notification concerning the release of the "15th Five-Year Plan" for constructing a new energy system.

The plan outlines a focus on integrated hydro-solar-wind development to advance hydropower construction. It emphasizes the high-quality development of the lower Yarlung Tsangpo River hydropower project, the orderly progression of major projects like Cihaxia, Longpan, and Gangtuo, and research into the planning for the Nu River basin's hydropower potential.

It calls for accelerating the planning and construction of integrated hydro-solar-wind bases in major river basins. Efforts will be coordinated to adjust hydropower planning across primary basins, promote capacity expansion and unit uprating of existing hydropower stations, and implement a high-quality development plan for the Yangtze River basin's hydropower resources.

The plan also includes initiatives for the green retrofitting and upgrading of small hydropower stations. The target is for conventional hydropower installed capacity to reach approximately 410 gigawatts by the year 2030.
