Abstract

According to a recent survey, the total exploitable hydropower potential in China amounts to 378,000 MW, corresponding to 1,923 TWh of annual generation. The role of hydro energy in China's energy structure is evaluated. A complete account of the historical growth as well as the geographical distribution of hydropower utilization in China is compiled. Small hydropower in China, a topic of world interest, is also concisely described.
