The project is a 10 MW hydropower project and has a reservoir storage capacity of 19.9 million m3. The reservoir surface area at full reservoir level is 1.07 square kilometre, with a power density of 9.3 W/m2. It is estimated that the electricity supplied to the grid will be 25.09 GWh annually. The project activity aims to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions by avoiding CO2 emission from a business-as-usual scenario with electricity generated by fossil fuel-fired power plants.

As a renewable energy project, it aims on producing positive environmental and socio-economic benefits and contribute to local sustainable development through several aspects. Such as contributing to the local economy development by providing electricity and meeting local increasing energy demands, reducing GHG emissions and mitigating emissions of pollutants caused from local coalfired power plants compared to a business-as-usual scenario by displacing part of electricity from fossil fuel-fired power plants. Furthermore, it aims on being in accordance with the development priority of China’s energy industry, and to help diversify energy mix of the grid by increasing the share of renewable energy. In addition to create plenty of short-term employment opportunities during the project construction period and a number of permanent jobs during the operation time for the local people.
