Three Gorges' Second Generating Unit Goes into Service
The No. 5 power generating unit of China's mammoth Three Gorges Project will officially begin to supply electricity for China's power grid on July 16, six days after the No. 2 unit.

An official with the Yangtze River Three Gorges Project Development Corporation said the No. 5 unit would undergo a 30-dayexamination before going into commercial operation in mid-August.

The 700,000-kw unit successfully completed a 72-hour test run for the power grid by 4:32 p.m. Sunday.

The Three Gorges Project in Yichang, central China's Hubei Province, is designed to hold 26 units each with a generating capacity of 700,000 kw.

The project commissioned its first power generating unit, the No. 2 unit, and linked it to the power grid on July 10.

Together, the two units will daily supply more than 26 million kwh of electricity to the power grid.
