China's Medog Hydropower Station: Building the World's Largest Dam

China's Medog Hydropower Station is set to make history as the world's largest hydropower dam! Nestled in Tibet's Mêdog County along the Yarlung Tsangpo River, this colossal project boasts a staggering capacity of 60,000 megawatts, generating around 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. As construction is slated to begin in December 2024 and wrap up by 2033, the project carries a hefty price tag of over 1 trillion yuan (approximately US$137 billion).

While it signifies a leap towards renewable energy and carbon neutrality, concerns loom over its impact on neighboring countries like India and Bangladesh, as well as potential ecological and cultural ramifications. Dive into the details of this groundbreaking development and its implications for the future of energy!
