In the southwest of China, five small run-of-river power plants in the Linkou River basin are being constructed. The clean power generated is fed into the power grid and replaces power from the combustion of fossil fuels. At the same time, the project creates local jobs.
The project includes the construction and operation of three run-of-the-river power plants with an output of 4MW, 1.89 MW, 1.76MW, 1.03MW und 1MW in rivers Qu, Tongdao, Beidou und Yangxi in the Hunan province, southwest China. The clean electricity from renewable energy sources is fed into the power supply system of the Central China Power Group (CCPG) and replaces a part of the power production produced on the basis of fossil fuels. In this way, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced.
Moreover, the construction of the hydroelectric power plants supports the development of the local economy, and additionally improves the local power supply and helps to overcome the power scarcity in the region. In order to prevent possible negative effects of the water power utilization on the soil quality and vegetation, corresponding water and soil conservation measures are taken after the construction of each hydroelectric power plant. For the local population, formerly farmers, the hydroelectric power plants create permanent employment. The jobs created during construction and operation increase the income of the local population and support the development of agriculture for the disadvantaged local population. The residents of the surrounding villages were actively involved during the development phase. In the case oft he Guanbaodu-Project they are investors and will benefit from the sale of power.
