The world's second-largest hydropower station, China's Baihetan Hydropower Station, has hit a new milestone. The power station has generated over 100 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity cumulatively since commencing operation in 2021, equivalent to 82.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide reduction.

Located on the Jinsha River, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and running through Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in southwestern China, the plant is a 16-gigawatt (GW) hydroelectric facility, the world's second-largest power station after the 22.5 GW Three Gorges Dam.
