All of the 29 generating units in the Three Gorges Dam power station operated at full capacity with a total output of 20 million kilowatts for the first time since they went into operation in order to meet the requirements of the discharge flow rate made by Yangtze River’s Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters, said a relevant official from Central China Grid Company Limited.
