en.Wedoany.com Reported - The last unit (Unit 1) of the Zhentouba II Hydropower Station, constructed by Sinohydro Bureau 7 Co., Ltd. under PowerChina, completed a 72-hour trial run and was officially put into operation on June 14, marking the full commissioning of all six units at the station.
Located in Jinkouhe District, Leshan, Sichuan Province, the Zhentouba II Hydropower Station is one of China's rare large-scale hydropower stations built within an urban area and is a key project under Sichuan Province's 14th Five-Year Plan. Sinohydro Bureau 7 undertook the construction of the station's dam and powerhouse works as well as the installation of all electromechanical equipment.
The project faced multiple challenges, including flood season disruptions, compressed construction schedules, multi-process cross-operation, and high-standard technical specifications. Adhering to the core principles of "safety as the foundation, quality as the essence," the project team established a full-cycle problem-solving system through refined construction organization and dynamic schedule control. They also formed a vanguard party member assault team and a youth technical tackling group to ensure the timely completion of all key milestones. Ultimately, the six units were commissioned consecutively within 27 days.
The station has a total installed capacity of 300 MW, equipped with six bulb tubular turbine units each with a capacity of 50 MW, and an average annual power generation of approximately 1.5 billion kWh. Once all units are operational, it will replace 450,000 tons of standard coal consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 960,000 tons annually. As a significant addition to the clean energy supply system in Southwest China, the station will enhance regional green power security, promote the low-carbon transformation of Sichuan's energy consumption structure, and support high-quality local economic development as well as the implementation of the "dual carbon" goals.
