History
editOn September 7, 2007, the preliminary construction of Banduo Hydropower Station started.[7] On October 23, 2010, the power plant was lowered to store water.[8]
On November 26, 2010, the first unit of the plant was put into operation, and on December 18, 2010, the second unit was put into operation, and in May 2011, its last generating unit was connected to the grid.[9]
Banduo Hydropower Station is one of the backbone power sources of the North Passage of the "West–East Electricity Transmission Project " (西电东送) in China and was a key project during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period in Qinghai Province. [10] The total investment in the project is about ¥2.118 billion,[11] and its total installed capacity is 360,000 kilowatts.[12]
