Yichang, central China's Hubei province. Modern equipment used in the
Three Gorges Project boast advanced technologies and credible
capabilities to guarantee the completion of the dam on time on
May 20, 2006. Launched in 1993, the massive Three Gorges hydropower
project is designed to control flooding on the Yangtze River, China's
longest waterway, and increase China's electricity production. When the
entire project is completed in 2009, it will be able to generate 84.7
billion kwhs of electricity annually. (Xinhua
