China will invest 400 billion Yuan ($62 billion) to build four hydropower stations.
China Three Gorges Corp will be in charge of building the four hydropower stations — Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Wudongde and Baihetan — along the upstream portion of the Yangtze river.
Total installed capacity of the four power stations will be 43 million kilowatts and they will be able to supply 190 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually.
The Xiangjiaba hydropower station is scheduled to start operations in 2012, followed by Xiluodu station in 2013.
