en.Wedoany.com Reported - Jiangkou Hydropower Station operated at full load for 18 consecutive days, with April's power generation exceeding 200 million kilowatt-hours, setting a new record since it was put into operation. Since April, rainfall in the Furong River Basin has been unusually high, and the monthly inflow at the Shizitan Power Generation Company's Jiangkou Hydropower Station reached a historical extreme.
Data shows that the average inflow rate at Jiangkou Reservoir in April was nearly 2.9 times higher than the average for the same period over the past five years, and 2.1 times higher than the multi-year average since the reservoir was built, far exceeding the historical maximum for April. The flood control pressure was unprecedented. Shizitan Power Generation Company planned ahead, and Jiangkou Reservoir completed water discharge to free up storage capacity before the flood season, with the water level dropping to a minimum of 264.10 meters, reserving ample regulation and storage space to gain the initiative in coping with the extraordinary inflow.
In mid-to-late April, continuous rainfall combined with widespread water discharge from other hydropower stations in the Chongqing region led to the grid's absorption capacity nearing saturation, and Jiangkou Hydropower Station faced the risk of peak-shaving water discharge. Shizitan Power Generation Company proactively coordinated and communicated with the Chongqing Electric Power Dispatch Center. Under difficult grid absorption conditions, it expanded absorption capacity through methods such as "participating in the inter-provincial spot market during off-peak hours," ensuring the generating units could operate at full and stable capacity.
Shizitan Power Generation Company stated that the next step will be to continue closely tracking changes in water and rainfall conditions, strengthen equipment inspections and hidden hazard investigations, optimize dispatch and market trading strategies, and strive to achieve the annual power generation target.
