Three Gorges Dam of China - World Largest Power Plant of Any Kind Share

The Three Gorges Dam located in Yichang, is a hydroelctric river dam generating the largest electricity power of any power plant in the world at 100,000 GWh a year, more than double of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant which is the largest nuclear power plant to-date located in Japan.

The construction completed in 2006. It contains 32 main generators and 2 smaller generators (50MW each). The hydroelectric is the most environmental-friendly method to generate electricity power except solar and wind where there are less cost-to-power ratio.

However, the huge electricity power generated by the largest plant above can only support 3% of the total consumption in China.
