In order to provide more abundant clean energy to the society, China is also planning to build large hydropower plants, the most concerned of which is the giant hydropower station built on the Brahmaputra River, which will surpass the Three Gorges once completed. What difficulties will It encounter in China's construction? Knowing that it is very difficult to build, why does China insist on building it? In fact, after its completion, it can make greater contributions to China's economic development, but because it is too difficult, I am afraid it will take several years to start construction. Ink Dehydration Power Station: The Ink Dehydration Power Station, which is still in the survey stage, is located in the Great Bend Canyon section of the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, with a difference of 2350m and an average annual flow of 60 billion m³ in Pai Town. The straight-line distance of the river bend is 35 km, which can be used to divert water from giant tunnels, and six large hydropower stations of 10 million kw are laid out along the Xirangqu River Valley.

Hydropower station power generation capacity and the amount of water in the river is directly related, so the construction of hydropower stations on large rivers with sufficient water volume can obtain the most power generation, China's current several giant hydropower stations are built on the Yangtze River, and if there is a big river in China that is the most suitable river for the construction of hydropower stations, then it is undoubtedly located in Tibet's Brahmaputra River, the water volume of this big river is also very abundant, and because it is located on the plateau, it also has huge potential energy. The water conservancy resource reserves of its one river alone are equivalent to 10% of the water conservancy resource reserves of the whole of China, and once they are developed and utilized, they can be converted into extremely large clean energy.
Previously, China proposed a plan to build a large hydropower station on the Brahmaputra River, when it was called the Mede hydropower station, it was said that this giant hydropower station will be located near the famous Grand Canyon of the Brahmaputra River, using the huge potential energy on both sides of the Grand Canyon to generate electricity, the scale of this hydropower station is very huge, it will be composed of 6 sub-power stations, each sub-power station's power generation capacity is equivalent to half of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, and it also has hundreds of kilometers of water transmission culverts and multiple reservoirs and other ancillary facilities. The total power generation is equivalent to three times that of the Three Gorges, and once completed, it can provide China with a huge supply of clean energy.
At that time, many people thought that China would start the construction of this giant hydropower station soon, but until today it has not officially started construction. In fact, this is not the case, China is still conducting research and comparison of the construction plan of this hydropower station, hoping to find a plan with the lowest difficulty in construction and the least cost, because the scale of this hydropower station is too large, the technical difficulty is too high, the geological environment and plains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are very different, the construction of hydropower stations on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also facing problems that will not occur in many plain areas, and it is necessary to study these problems in advance and come up with suitable solutions before starting the construction of the entire hydropower station.

And because of the use of sub-power station design, but also to build a large number of supporting facilities, the project cost of the ink dehydration power station is very huge, the initial estimate of the first phase of the project will cost more than 500 billion yuan, the entire project investment may be more than 1,000 billion yuan, even if China has today's strong economic strength, so so much money will not be able to come out in a moment and a half, so if China really wants to build this hydropower station, it will take a while to raise funds to start the project.
Of course, China will not easily give up this project, after all, China has always attached great importance to social and economic development, and China has made a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible, must vigorously invest in the development of clean energy, although it is now facing various difficulties, but with China's current strength, these difficulties can be overcome soon after, and finally build this hydropower station standing on top of the world.
