China began building the world’s largest hydropower dam in Xizang, a $168 billion project with 70 GW capacity, expected to supply 3% of China’s 2024 electricity.

The dam, comprising five cascading power stations, is expected to generate around 300 bn kWh of electricity annually — equivalent to the United Kingdom’s total power consumption in the past year. The project taps into the steep drop of 2,000 metres across a 50-kilometre section of the Yarlung Zangbo, offering unparalleled hydropower potential.
