Congratulations from Xi Jinping to the commissioning of the first batch of units of the Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River
On the occasion of the safe and punctual commissioning of the first batch of units of the Baihetan Hydropower Station on the Jinsha River, I would like to extend my warm congratulations!
Baihetan Hydropower Station is a major national project for the implementation of "West-to-East Power Transmission". It is the largest and most technically difficult hydropower project under construction in the world today.
The world's largest single-machine capacity of one million kilowatts of hydroelectric generating units has achieved a major breakthrough in my country's high-end equipment manufacturing.
You carry forward the spirit of excellence, bravely climbing the peak, and selfless dedication, unite and cooperate, overcome difficulties, and have made contributions to the construction of major national projects.
This fully demonstrates that socialism was built and the new era was built through struggle.
I hope you will coordinate and promote the follow-up work of Baihetan Hydropower Station, and make greater contributions to achieving the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and promoting the overall green transformation of economic and social development!
Xi Jinping
