All units on the left bank of Baihetan Hydropower Station have been put into operation to generate electricity. What is the specific situation? What's the point?

The specific situation is that all units are running normally, that is to say, to ensure power supply.

Baihetan Hydropower Station is located in the lower reaches of Jinsha River, which is the second largest hydropower station in China after Three Gorges Hydropower Station. It is the most difficult to build a hydropower station in Jinsha River in the world. This not only ensures the power supply, but also proves that China's hydropower technology is among the best in the world. Specifically, this move has several meanings: first, it ensures the power supply, second, it reduces carbon emissions, and finally it reduces energy consumption. The following will be explained in detail:

1. The unit on the left bank of Baihetan Hydropower Station is put into operation to generate electricity, and the significance lies in ensuring power supply: the annual power generation capacity of Baihetan Hydropower Station is 62.4 billion kWh, which is enough to supply the local daily electricity. The reason why Baihetan Hydropower Station generates so much electricity is because it is located in the lower reaches of Jinsha River, with fast water flow and large height difference, which can make full use of water energy. So China broke through all difficulties and built the most technically difficult hydropower station in this place. After the completion of Baihetan Hydropower Station, the benefits are huge, which makes the lower reaches of Jinsha River use reliable and cheap electricity. So the significance of this move is to ensure the power supply.

Second, the left bank unit of Baihetan Hydropower Station is put into operation to generate electricity, which means reducing carbon emissions. Because the traditional way of power generation is coal-fired power generation, it is bound to be accompanied by coal and smoke emissions, and the power generation of Baihetan Hydropower Station completely avoids this problem. The annual power generation of Baihetan Hydropower Station is 62.4 billion kWh, which is enough to ensure the normal electricity consumption in this area, so it is not necessary to use coal to generate electricity, which reduces carbon emissions.

Third, the unit on the left bank of Baihetan Hydropower Station is put into operation to generate electricity, which is of great significance for reducing energy consumption: relying on traditional coal-fired power generation to ensure the normal power consumption in the lower reaches of Jinsha River, it consumes hundreds of thousands of tons of coal every year. Now relying on hydropower stations to generate electricity, there is no loss of coal, and hundreds of thousands of tons of coal are saved every year on average, so the significance is to reduce energy consumption.
