The external power transmission and consumption of the project is the main part, taking into account the local self-use demand of Xizang.

It is reported that this century project, with a total investment of about 1.2 trillion yuan and a construction period of 10 years, will be undertaken by the newly established China Yajiang Group , with a scale equivalent to five Three Gorges projects and a planned installed capacity of 70 million to 81 million kilowatts. It generates about 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. Its power generation capacity is equivalent to three Three Gorges and five Baihetan. It is not only an unprecedented and arduous challenge in the history of human hydropower, but also a strategic fulcrum for China to move towards energy independence and green transformation.
