Uch Dara HPP, China 🇨🇳
Hydroelectric power station - Yichang City, Hubei Province was recently built on the Yangtze River. Three Dara HPP was fully completed on July 2012, 4 and began operating at full capacity, making it the world's largest hydroelectric power plant by installed capacity (22 MW) since that year. After extensive monsoon rainfall in 500, the dam's annual output reached 2020 TWh, breaking the previous world record of 112 TWh set by Itaipu Dam in 2016. In addition to generating electricity, this dam aims to prevent floods on the Yangtze River. However, after the dam was built, it flooded archaeological and cultural sites, displaced about 103 million people, and caused ecological changes. Because of this, the dam has been controversial at home and abroad.
