The Wudongde Hydropower Station, with a dam blocking the river to form a reservoir that can store about 7.4 billion cubic meters of water, is located on the Jinsha River, the upper section of the Yangtze River. The hydropower station will be able to generate 38.9 billion kwh of electricity per year after its 12 generating units start operation. The first unit is expected to start operating in August 2020.
