The Shilongba Hydropower Station is the first hydroelectric power plant in China. [31] It was built in Yunnan province in 1912, with a capacity of 240 kW. Due to the subsequent period of political and social instability, little additional progress was made in power infrastructure in the country at that time.
In the first half of 2023, China's hydropower capacity factor dropped to 30.5%, its lowest since at least 2015, due to severe drought conditions that reduced water availability. Hydropower output fell by 23%, the largest decline among all electricity sources. Globally, hydropower generation declined by 8.5%. [55]

China has constructed multiple hydropower stations along the course of the Yarlung Tsangpo over the past decade in a bid to harness the river's power as a source of renewable energy.
There’s the older kind, like hydropower, that Yikpotey knew well. When the Three Gorges Dam in the landlocked Hubei province opened in 2006, it was the world’s largest hydroelectric power station.
The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...
The following page lists hydroelectric power stations that generate power using the run-of-the-river method. This list includes most power stations that are larger than 100 MW in maximum net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction.
As part of China's Great Western Development program, large-scale hydropower development in China's Yunnan Province has been substantial, [8] [9] [10] on the Mekong, the Jinsha, and the Red rivers. Large amounts of Yunnan's hydropower is exported eastwards to energy intensive load centres, such as Guangxi and Guangdong. [11]
