Construction of the Xiangjiaba hydropower station, located in the Jinsha River, a major headstream of the Yangtze in the southwestern Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, started in late 2006. It started water storage on October 10 this year.

The station is designed to generate 30.8 billion kwh a year after all its generators become fully operational. Apart from helping to meet demand in provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, it will mainly supply power to the country's east.
