China News Service, Xining, December 29 (Sun Rui, Li Xinye) The reporter learned from the State Power Investment Corporation Yellow River Hydropower Company ("Yellow River Company") on the 29th that at 21:16 on the 28th, the last vehicle at the site of the Yangqu closure The big boulders were pushed into the river and the closure and dike were successfully closed, marking the successful closure of the Yangqu Hydropower Station developed and constructed by the company.

  The Yellow River Yangqu Hydropower Station is located at the junction of Xinghai County and Guinan County in Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is the lowermost level of the three planned cascade power stations "Ciha, Banduo and Yangqu" on the upper reaches of the Longyangxia Hydropower Station on the mainstream of the Yellow River. The main task is to generate electricity.

The total installed capacity of the power station is 1.2 million kilowatts, and the total storage capacity of the reservoir is 1.639 billion cubic meters. It is estimated that the first unit will be put into operation in July 2024.

  According to reports, the interception started at 11:48 on the 26th and lasted 57 hours and 28 minutes. The left bank to the right bank was blocked by a single bank.
