Updated: 2009-03-27 07:21 BEIJING - As of the end of 2008, China had spent 181.5 billion yuan (US$26.5 billion) in dynamic investment, or 122.9 billion yuan in static investment, on the Three Gorges Hydropower Project on the upper reaches of the country's Yangtze River. So far, 91 percent of the budget has been spent on the project. The total cost is not expected to surpass what has been budgeted, said Wang Xiaofeng, deputy director of the Committee of the Construction of the Three Gorges Project and the Three Gorges Project Office under the State Council.
According to the official, after nearly 17 years of construction, the Three Gorges Reservoir is now able to hold water that's 175 meters high. All 26 generators, 700,000 kw each, were put into operation in November. Construction of the main body of the Three Gorges Dam is 100 percent qualified, with 95 percent of the engineering work officially appraised to be in excellent or good quality. Power transmission and transformation projects have stood the test of severe natural disasters. To date, a total of 1,255,000 people have been relocated from the affected areas. The underground power station and its transmission project, as well as the ship-lifting devices, will be completed by 2012 and 2014, respectively, Wang said. |
