The dam will cost more than R$843 billion; should produce 300 billion KWh (kilowatt-hour) annually
China approved on Wednesday (Dec 25, 2024) the construction of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam in Tibet. The infrastructure will be installed on the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The country is expected to spend more than 1 trillion yuan (around US$137 billion or R$843 billion at current exchange rates) on the project. The information is from .
