As of October 31st, China Energy’s Dadu River Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station's river-blocking dam in Dadu River has achieved a monthly fill volume of over one million cubic meters, setting a new record for monthly fill and reaching an all-time high. This milestone lays a solid foundation for improving production and operational efficiency, and for realizing the goal of the power station's early commencement of power generation.

Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station is the fifth step in the cascade of power stations planned on the mainstream of the Dadu River and serves as the leading upstream power station in the Dadu River basin. Included as a key project of China Energy, it has a planned installation capacity of 2 million kilowatts. The dam has a height of 315 meters, making it the tallest dam currently under construction in the world, with a total fill volume of 45 million cubic meters, and is scheduled to be completed in 2027.
Since the beginning of October, all branches involved in the Shuangjiangkou project have united closely, seizing the golden season of autumn construction. They have planned in advance for the guarantee of construction resources, broken down the fill volume and construction period targets, implemented detailed and practical construction organization, and increased the excavation work at the material sites to ensure the supply of fill materials such as gravel and soil, guaranteeing that the daily fill volume of the dam remains above 30,000 cubic meters. These measures have laid the foundation for high-intensity dam filling and set a new record by successfully completing the monthly fill tasks.
