Yiyang Xiushan Hydropower Project activity (hereinafter known as ¡°the Project¡±) is located in the lower reaches of Zijiang River at Xiushan Town, Taojiang County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, P.R. China. With a total installed capacity of 65MW (5*13MW), the proposed project activity is expected to supply electricity to Central China Power Grid (CCPG) via Hunan Provincial Power Grid. The annual electricity generation is expected to be 276,450 MWh and the electricity delivered to grid is expected to be 257,570MWh, with 4235 utilization hours. The surface area at full reservoir level is 6.3 km2, with power density 10.3W/m2.

The Yiyang Xiushan Hydropower Project is a renewable energy project located in the lower reaches of the Zijiang River in Xiushan Town, Taojiang County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, P.R. China. This project has a total installed capacity of 65MW (5*13MW), which is enough to supply electricity to the Central China Power Grid (CCPG) via Hunan Provincial Power Grid. With an expected annual electricity generation of 276,450 MWh, and an electricity delivery of 257,570MWh, this project has a utilization rate of 4235 hours. At full reservoir level, the surface area of the project is 6.3 km², with a power density of 10.3W/m². 

Key Highlights:
- The Yiyang Xiushan Hydropower Project will reduce carbon emissions by displacing electricity that would have been generated by fossil fuels.
- The project will create local jobs during construction and operation.
- The hydropower project will contribute to the development of renewable energy in China.

This project is important because it generates clean energy and reduces carbon emissions, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change. Additionally, the Yiyang Xiushan Hydropower Project supports the growth of renewable energy in China and provides job opportunities for local communities.
