Guanting Hydropower Station (Chinese: 官厅水电站),[3] also spelled Guanting Hydropower Plant, is the first automatic power station designed and built by China,[4][5] located on the upper reaches of the Yongding River in the western suburbs of Beijing.[6] The source of power for the hydropower station is Guanting Reservoir,[7] which generates electricity equivalent to more than 100,000 tons of coal per year.[8]
History
[edit]Guanting Hydropower Station started construction in April 1954.[9] On December 27, 1955, it was completed to generate electricity.[10]
On December 26, 1955, Peng Zhen cut the ribbon for the commissioning of the first unit of the Guanting Hydropower Station.[11] He pointed out that, "Guanting Hydropower Station not only generates electricity, but also trains and transports cadres".[12]
Guanting Hydropower Station has 3 units.[13] On December 27, 1955, its first unit generated electricity.[14] In May 1956, the second and third units were put into operation, with a total installed capacity of 30,000 kilowatts, accounting for 14.2% of the installed capacity of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan power grid at that time.[12]
