Researched by Industrial Info Resources China (Beijing, China)--The examination meeting for the feasibility study report for Yalong River Hydropower Development Company Limited's (Chengdu, Sichuan) 1,500-megawatt (MW) Yangfanggou Hydropower Station was held under the joint organization of the Hydropower and Water Resources Planning & Design General Institute, a subsidiary of HydroChina Corporation (Beijing), and the Development and Reform Commission and the Energy Administration of Sichuan Province in Chengdu from November 28-30, 2012, according to an announcement from HydroChina Huadong Engineering Corporation (Hangzhou, Zhejiang), a subsidiary of Power Construction Corporation of China (PCCC) (Beijing), on December 10.

During the examination meeting, the feasibility study report prepared by HydroChina Huadong Engineering Corporation was reviewed and discussed in detail. The expert panel finally concluded that the report was satisfactory with its specifications, both in content and depth, and approved the report in principle.

The proposed Yangfanggou Hydropower Station, located in Muli County of southwest China's Sichuan province, is the sixth step in the Cascade Development Scheme for the middle reaches of Yalong River. According to the feasibility study report, the project involves a reservoir with a total storage capacity of 512 million cubic meters, including 53.85 million cubic meters of live storage. The project is being built mainly for power generation. The power station plans to build four 375-megawatt (MW) units with a total installed capacity of 1,500 MW and an annual output of about 7.05 billion kilowatt-hours. The project mainly comprises a double-curvature arch dam, flood discharge facilities, and a power diversion and generation system.

In March 2008, HydroChina Huadong completed the preparation of the pre-feasibility study report for the project. During the feasibility study, HydroChina Huadong performed a large quantity of surveys and research for the project. A series of research reports on specific subjects were prepared and passed the examination of related authorities one after another.

Presently, HydroChina Huadong is working closely with the project owner to get the project approved as early as possible.
