The world's largest clean energy corridor, comprising six mega hydropower stations on China's Yangtze River, has generated more than 4 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, according to data released by the China Three Gorges Corporation on Friday.
In the first three quarters of this year alone, the corridor produced more than 235.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Stretching 1,800 kilometers, the clean energy corridor consists of Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges, and Gezhouba hydropower stations.
With a total installed capacity of nearly 71.7 million kilowatts, the six hydropower stations transmit electricity from the resource-rich western region to energy-consuming eastern areas. They generate an average of 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year.
By the end of July this year, China's installed capacity of renewable energy, primarily from hydropower, wind power, and solar power, has reached 2.17 billion kilowatts, ranking first in the world.

The multilateral system is "under attack" amid global turmoil, President of the 80th UN General Assembly Annalena Baerbock warned in her remarks on Wednesday.
In her briefing on the priorities for the resumed 80th Session of the General Assembly, the UNGA president noted that the current multilateral system does not collapse all in a sudden, but "crumbles piece by piece" in divisions, compromises, and lack of political commitment.
The president called all the UN member states to defend the UN Charter and international law and promote cross-regional cooperation.
She also urged to push forward the work of the UNGA on certain critical issues with a strong majority, rather than an absolute consensus among all member states. Such act is not a failure of multilateralism, but "an affirmation of it," she said.
The foundational principles of the institution should not be eroded by appeasement, she said, calling the member states to show courage, leadership, and responsibility at the UN's "critical make-or-break moment."
"The UN needs you. Your support, your leadership, your principle, stand, your cross-regional cooperation, if we are to preserve and modernize this institution, if we are to make it, rather than break it," she said.
