Guidelines. Board Chairman Mr. CAO Guang-jing General Manager Mr. CHEN Fei Message from the Managers While the safe and clean energy has become a new engine driving the economic growth all over the world, China has initiated an energy policy prioritizing hydropower, optimizing thermal power, boosting nuclear power and promoting renewable energy power. Regarding “Building the Three Gorges Project and Developing the Yangtze River” as its mission, CTG focuses closely on the main task of hydropower development while actively developing renewable energies such as wind power, enhancing the kernel competence in the clean energy industry, accelerating the development of overseas hydropower market and paying more attention to the harmony with eco-environment. CTG is on its way to achieve its strategic goal to grow into a world-class large clean energy group. In 2010, the Three Gorges Project, for the first time, successfully actualized the goal of reservoir impounding test at 175m and stood up to extreme flood in the flood season. CTG made a breakthrough in the hydropower development of the lower part of the Jinsha River (the upstream section of the Yangtze River) and gained new progress in renewable energy development and overseas business. CTG conscientiously implemented the Hydropower Development Philosophy of “building a first-class hydropower plant to stimulate the growth of the local economy, improve the local environment, and benefit resettled residents” into every stage of project development and operation, being active in fulfilling its social responsibility, careful in protecting the eco-environment and working all-roundly for saving energy and reducing emission. CTG carried out the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for Baihetan Project and Wudongde Project and the resource and energy conservation plan lawfully. CTG strictly implemented the system of “Three Simultaneousness” in project environment protection and carefully applied all the measures in the EIA document for Xiangjiaba Project and Xiluodu Project, and conducted the regulation and operation of Three Gorges-Gezhouba Cascade in an environmentally friendly way for displaying the eco-environmental benefit of the project. The concept of ecological protection, energy saving and emission reduction has been followed in every step of CTG’s business. In the year 2011, CTG, on its way to become a world-class clean energy group, has been implementing the “Hydropower Development Philosophy” into its whole business field, trying to realize a win-win result in clean energy development and eco-environmental protection. CONTENTS ◎ Corporation Profile ◎ Management ◎ Clean Energy Development and Benefits 1 ◎ Ecological Conservation 5 ◎ Pollution Control 8 ◎ Conservation and Utilization 17 ◎ Monitoring and Research 21 ◎ Conclusion 28 Corporation Profile Approved by the State Council, the China Three Gorges Project Corporation was established on September 27th, 1993 for the purpose of the Three Gorges Project construction and the Yangtze River development. Its name was changed into China Three Gorges Corporation on September 27th, 2009. In January 2010, CTG established the Board of Directors, and the name of CTG was changed into China Three Gorges Corporation Ltd. in May of 2011. The strategic orientation of CTG is a clean energy group for large hydro-project development and operation with the main business focused on hydro-project construction and management, power generation and the related technological services. Main business indicators of 2010 Indicators 2010 Year-on-year growth rate Power generation (GW·h) 102,381 5.33% Revenue (RMB billion) 29.033 13.32% Total profit (RMB billion) 14.055 9.86% Profit of main business (RMB billion) 9.80 12.97% In 2010, the Three Gorges Project brought its role in flood control, power generation, navigation and water supplementation into full play. The project for the first time successfully passed the 175m reservoir impounding test. The flood peak in 2010, which was bigger than that of 1998, was reduced to 30,000m3/s from 70,000m3/s, tremendously alleviating the flood pressure on the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In 2010, the power generation volume of the Three Gorges-Gezhouba Cascade was 100,611 GW·h, water supplementation for the downstream areas in dry seasons numbered 12.19 billion m3, and the total freight volume through the project exceeded 80 million tons. In 2010, the construction of Xiangjiaba Project and Xiluodu Project on Jinsha River all went into the busiest phase of concrete pouring, metal structures setting and mechanical-electric facilities installing. The pre-feasibility reports of Baihetan Project and Wudongde Project have been approved by National Reform and Development Commission (NDRC), and the Orders of “Closing Project-area” have been issued for both projects. Main projects Three Gorges Project The Three Gorges Project was started on December 14th, 1994. The river closure was successfully implemented on November 8th, 1997. In 2003, three main objects were achieved, namely the impoundment of phase II project, navigation and power generation. In 2009, the preliminary designed construction of the project was completed in time, except the ship lift which was postponed with the approval of the Central Government. In 2010, the Project passed the 175m reservoir- impounding test. The project brought its functions for flood control, drought relief, power generation, navigation and water supply into full play. The total installed capacity numbered 22,500 MW with an annual power generation of 88,200 GW·h. Gezhouba Project The Gezhouba Project, Completed in 1988, is a re-regulation reservoir and navigation cascade of the Three Gorges Project with an installed capacity of 2,715 MW and an annual power generation of 15,700 GW·h. Xiangjiaba Project The Xiangjiaba Hydropower Project was officially started in November 2006. The river was successfully closed on December 28th, 2008. The designed installation capacity is 6,400 MW. Xiluodu Project The Xiluodu Hydropower Project was officially started in December 2005. The river was closed on November 8th, 2007. The designed installation capacity is 13,860 MW. Baihetan Project The Baihetan Hydropower Project has the planned installation capacity of 14,040 MW. Wudongde Project The Wudongde Hydropower Project has the planned installation capacity of 8,700 MW. In 2010 CTG made great progress in wind power development, and signed strategic cooperation agreements with Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shandong and Zhejiang Provinces, etc. A newly added
