The Three Gorges Dam is printed on the back of the 10 yuan RMB, and you must know that the scene where the RMB can be printed is of great significance to the country and the people, and the Three Gorges Dam can be selected by the 10 yuan RMB, which means that this project is favored by the country and the people.
After all, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam at that time invested nearly 250 billion yuan, which was a lot of income for that time, since 2006 after the Three Gorges Dam has been in operation for nearly 20 years, the Three Gorges Dam has been in operation for nearly 20 years, the Three Gorges Dam put into the construction of more than 250 billion yuan to earn back.
After all, when many people found themselves paying electricity bills, they also made a little contribution to the public welfare of the Three Gorges Project, and people wanted to know whether they had made a contribution to a big project and whether they had lived up to the expectations of the people and the country.
In 1993, in order to establish the Three Gorges Project, the state established the China Three Gorges Project Development Corporation with the approval of the State Council, and later the company was renamed China Three Gorges Corporation, according to the company's 2022 financial statements.
In 2022, the Three Gorges Hydropower Station generated a total of 78.79 billion kilowatt hours, and the power generation capacity of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station in 2022 alone was able to recover most of the more than 250 billion yuan invested by the Three Gorges Dam at that time, not to mention that the Three Gorges Dam has been continuously supplying electricity in recent years.
Therefore, judging from the power generated by the Three Gorges Dam alone, the Three Gorges Dam has been able to earn back the more than 250 billion yuan used in production in recent years. However, earning back the more than 250 billion yuan spent on production does not mean that the Three Gorges Dam has recouped its original cost.
Since 1994, the state has sponsored the construction of the Three Gorges Dam project, which took more than 250 billion yuan and took more than ten years, and was established in 2006.
The ancients all knew that they wanted to live by water, not to mention the modern people who are now trying to find a way to live with new energy, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the leaders were in a hurry to start the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.
If the Three Gorges Dam is not built, not only will it waste a lot of resources, but it will also cause a lot of disasters.
As we all know, if the river encounters a rainstorm season, the water level will rise, and then it will affect people's production and life and even endanger people's lives, this situation is particularly tricky, in order to prevent such a phenomenon from happening, it is necessary to control the water volume of the river, and timely discharge the river flood.
At this time, there is a need for a dam to complete these difficult tasks, but because the river is relatively turbulent and the project is more difficult, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam has been difficult to promote.
In addition to the above reasons, there are more important energy problems and transportation problems, the ancients still put water wheels into labor, smart modern people, more know that water resources can bring great power, water can be used to generate electricity, if you can use the natural resources of rivers to generate electricity, then you can reduce a lot of resource pollution.
In order to make use of the water on the river, it is necessary to build the Three Gorges Dam as soon as possible, so that it will save a lot of expenses, in addition to some considerations on the use of energy, the transportation aspect is also very noteworthy, before the construction of the Three Gorges Dam ships from the river is more dangerous, after the completion of the Three Gorges Dam can have a deeper and longer-term guarantee for transportation.
In addition, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam can also effectively reduce the speed of water flow, timely water storage and storage, and can effectively replenish or intercept when water resources fluctuate, so the Three Gorges Dam indirectly ensures that the fish species in the Yangtze River are more stable, and the quantity can be maintained within a healthy, scientific and reasonable range.
All in all, the benefits of building the Three Gorges Dam are numerous, so the country and the people attach great importance to the Three Gorges Dam, and the experts will be very careful when building and developing the dam.
In order to make the dam more useful, experts will conduct special research on the dam, the first is the raw materials used in the construction of the dam, the quality of the raw materials must be good must stand the test, which means that the Three Gorges Dam is particularly expensive.
In terms of selecting the right materials, the experts also took great pains to find the best steel and concrete, and conducted various experiments and even blasting experiments to test the possible strength of the Three Gorges Dam.
After a long time of testing, the experts dared to use the best materials in the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, at that time in order to build this project, the experts did not work the materials, so the cost of consumption is particularly large, after the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, according to the estimation of experts and various professionals, the project can continue to be used for more than 200 years.
At this time, the problem comes, the value and amount of power generation generated by the Three Gorges Dam have actually been able to fill the more than 250 billion yuan invested in the construction project, but this does not mean that the power generation can pay for it.
First of all, the more than 250 billion yuan spent on the Three Gorges Dam is only the money consumed during construction, and after the Three Gorges Dam is put into use, there are more invisible places that need to be spent.
For example, the construction is so large that the project always needs to be repaired, and even if the experts use the best materials, it is impossible for the Three Gorges Dam to be free from any mistakes and accidents during the 200 years of use.
If some of the loopholes in the Three Gorges Dam are to be patched or upgraded, more advanced raw materials and more professional personnel will be needed to repair the dam.
At this time, some of the money needed for the financial export of manpower and material resources is also quite large, and if it is to be strictly calculated, this money will also be counted into the money used for the construction of the Three Gorges Dam.
In addition to repairing and upgrading the project itself, when the Three Gorges Dam was built, in order to prevent the surrounding residents from being affected or suddenly harmed, the nearby residents were removed during the construction of the Three Gorges Dam in order to resettle the residents affected by the project at that time.
The relevant departments and the government needed to reassure and help these residents, and some of the expenses incurred at that time also needed to be included in the Three Gorges Dam project, which was also an expense for the project itself.
In addition, the Three Gorges Dam project itself also needs money to settle some unexpected problems, in general, even the Three Gorges Dam has income in terms of electricity, and if you want to recoup the cost or build a new dam in 200 years, it will take all these costs into account, and if you just use hydropower to make up for the money, I am afraid it will not be enough.
Therefore, in addition to making up for the amount of money consumed in the construction of the dam at that time, the Three Gorges Dam also opened up the tourism industry, so that many people at home and abroad can see the style of the Three Gorges Dam and obtain some benefits from it to compensate for some of the consumption generated by the project itself.
If you really want to calculate it carefully, the Three Gorges Dam that can bring income benefits does have the possibility of returning to its original cost, and now the Three Gorges Dam, this project is also constantly developing other aspects that can be used by itself, I believe that the Three Gorges Dam project will definitely be able to be developed in the next few years to be more valuable and possible.
