CTG holds open day event at Chaglla hydroelectric power plant in Peru

BEIJING, Dec. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- An online open day event at the Chaglla hydroelectric power plant in Peru was held by China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) on Dec 16.

Themed "Green Hydropower Guarding a Better Life", the event showcased the operation of the plant and CTG's efforts in fulfilling social responsibilities.

Located over the Huallaga River in Huanuco region, the plant is 415 kilometers away from Lima, the capital of the country.

The plant, Peru's third-biggest hydropower project, has a total installed capacity of 456,000 kilowatts.

The plant went into operation in September 2016 and is capable of producing more than 2.51 billion kWh of power annually, providing high-quality clean power and contributing to economic and social development in the country.

While guaranteeing high-quality operation of the plant, CTG also fulfilled responsibilities in environmental protection and infrastructure construction in affected areas.

For example, the company regularly cleared the reservoir and spread environmental protection information in nearby schools. It also planted and revegetated trees to benefit residents living near the plant.

What's more, CTG also provided free commuting vehicles and water transportation craft for local people and helped them build roads, which made travel easier between areas near the plant and the downtown.

During the event, Zhang Dingming, deputy general manager of CTG, said that the company will continue to develop its overseas projects, deepen international cooperation in the field of energy, promote clean, green and low carbon production modes and lifestyles and enhance cultural exchanges.
