By 8 a.m. Tuesday, the massive Three Gorges Project had generated 10 billion kwh of electricity, said sources with the China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation on Wednesday.

Six generators have been operating at the Three Gorges hydropower plant since Nov. 22 of 2003. The first generator, with an installed capacity of 700,000 kw was put into operation on July10 last year.

Electricity generated by the Three Gorges project was sent to nine provinces and municipalities in central, east and southwest China, including Hubei, Henan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Sichuan.

Four more generators, with an installed capacity of 700,000 kw each, are expected to be installed and go into operation in 2004.

With 10 generators in operation, the Three Gorges hydropower plant is expected to generate 30 billion kwh of electricity in 2004, said Li Yong'an, general manager of the China Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation.
