The announcement of the construction of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam in Tibet is a cause for concern for China, India and Bangladesh.
Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang has announced the start of construction of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam. The dam is being built on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau. The estimated cost of the project is $170 billion, according to China’s state news agency Xinhua.
The announcement of the construction of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam in Tibet is a cause for concern for China, India and Bangladesh.
China’s ambitious project has raised concerns in two neighboring countries, India and Bangladesh. The Yalung Zangpo river on which China is going to build the dam, flows through the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam before entering Bangladesh under the name Brahmaputra River. It is China’s most ambitious hydroelectric project after the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River. The start of construction of the dam is being seen as an economic stimulus in China’s stock market, and the announcement of the start of construction of the dam sent the country’s stock market soaring on Monday. At the same time, bond interest rates have increased. The five-stage hydroelectric power plant is expected to be able to produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which is equal to the total electricity used in the United Kingdom last year. The dam is being built on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangpo River.

The dam is being built on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangpo River.
According to estimates provided by the Power Construction Corporation of China in 2020, if the dam is able to produce 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, it will produce more than three times the production capacity of the Three Gorges Dam in central China. Currently, the Three Gorges Dam is known as the world’s largest hydroelectric dam.
In the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangpo River, where the new hydroelectric dam is being built, the river falls from a height of nearly 2,000 meters (6,561 feet) in a single section over a length of 50 kilometers (31 miles), opening up immense potential for hydroelectric power generation.
