The relevant person in charge of Guangxi Datangxia Water Conservancy Hub Development Co., Ltd. told reporters that during the construction process, multiple technical indicators are leading in the industry. The project is equipped with 8 of the largest axial flow propeller type hydroelectric generator units in China, with a single unit capacity of 200000 kilowatts, ranking first among similar units; Arrange 26 radial working gates that are among the top in domestic dam type engineering, with a maximum thrust load of 6820 tons; Build the largest water ecological protection engineering system in China to meet the breeding and migration needs of rare fish species in the Hongshui River.
The completion of the main works of the Datongxia Water Control Project will further improve the flood control system of the the Pearl River basin, strengthen the important nodes of the national water network, and comprehensively build the "clean energy corridor" of the Hongshui River, providing a new impetus for strengthening the governance and management of the the Pearl River basin, improving the ability to guarantee water security, promoting the high-quality development of local economy and society, and helping the construction of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area.
