在科特迪瓦西南部的萨桑德拉河上，一道绵延4.2公里的水坝横亘在河面上。水坝中央坐落着一栋灰白 色调的发电厂房，伴随发电机组的轰鸣声，清洁电力源源不断地被送出。这座崭新的水电站是由中国电 力建设集团（以下简称"中国电建"）承建的格西波—波波里水电站（以下简称"波波里水电站"）。 近年来，中国电建积极参与萨桑德拉河流域梯级开发，建造多个水电站项目，不仅满足当地日益增长的 电力需求，推动绿色转型，还培养了一批优秀的水电技术人才，为当地经济社会发展提供助力。 满足电力需求，改善能源结构 萨桑德拉河流域的梯级开发承载着科特迪瓦民众近半个世纪的期盼。 早在上世纪70年代，科特迪瓦政府就提出在萨桑德拉河流域开发水电的构想，但种种原因导致这一规划 迟迟未能付诸实践。中国电建的到来改变了这一局面。2017年11月，总装机容量达275兆瓦的苏布雷水 电站建成投运，实现了科特迪瓦人民长久以来的梦想。2018年，中国与科特迪瓦建交35周年之际，苏布 雷水电站作为中科务实合作的标志性工程，被印到科特迪瓦的纪念邮票上。票面上，苏布雷水电站大坝 巍然耸立，湍急的水流从闸口倾泻而出。截至目前，该水电站已累计发电超110亿千瓦时，为科特迪瓦 ...
