Core Viewpoint - The Yarlung Tsangpo River downstream hydropower project, known as the "Yaxi Project," has officially commenced construction, marking a significant milestone in China's clean energy development strategy, with a total investment of approximately 1.2 trillion yuan [1][3]. Group 1: Project Overview - The Yaxi Project is located in Nyingchi City, Tibet, and plans to construct five hydropower stations using a diversion tunnel approach, primarily for electricity export while also catering to local demand [1]. - The project was included as a major clean energy base in China's 14th Five-Year Plan and received official approval from the central government in December of the previous year [1][3]. Group 2: Technical Aspects - The Yaxi Project is expected to have a generating capacity that surpasses that of the Three Gorges Project, despite having a lower annual runoff volume of 1,654 billion cubic meters compared to the Yangtze River's Three Gorges [4][5]. - The unique geographical features of the Yarlung Tsangpo River, including a significant elevation drop of over 2,000 meters, provide a substantial hydropower advantage [5][6]. - The project involves the construction of long tunnels exceeding current world records, requiring advanced tunneling technology and engineering expertise [7][8]. Group 3: Broader Implications - The Yaxi Project is seen as a demonstration of solutions to global challenges, contributing to the concept of a community with a shared future for humanity [3]. - The project is part of a larger trend in China towards ambitious water resource management and energy projects, similar to historical examples like the Hoover Dam in the United States [10][12].

Core Viewpoint - The launch of the Yarlung Tsangpo River downstream hydropower investment presents significant investment opportunities due to its large gradient and long-distance transmission requirements [1][2][3] Group 1: Construction Capacity and Investment Scale - The Yarlung Tsangpo downstream hydropower project has a construction capacity of approximately 60-70 million kilowatts, equivalent to three Three Gorges projects. The total investment for the project is around 1.2 trillion yuan, comparable to six Three Gorges projects, indicating a substantial boost to the hydropower industry chain [1] Group 2: Gradient and Equipment Investment Intensity - The hydropower resources in the Yarlung Tsangpo River are abundant, with a water level drop of over 2000 meters within a 50-kilometer straight distance in the major bend area. The overall project is expected to have a water level drop of 2300-2400 meters, which is 20 times that of the Three Gorges project. This significant gradient will increase the requirements for project design, construction, and turbine generator specifications, leading to higher investment intensity in related sectors [2] Group 3: Long-Distance Transmission and Grid Investment - The Yarlung Tsangpo hydropower project will primarily focus on power transmission to distant regions, with a maximum transmission distance of 2500-3000 kilometers, which is 2-3 times that of the Three Gorges project. This extended transmission distance is expected to stimulate investment in related grid sectors [3]
