中国已开始建造世界上最大的西藏水力发电大坝,估计耗资约1700亿美元。 China has started construction on the world's largest hydropower dam in Tibet, estimated to cost around $170 billion. Yarlung Zangbo河五站综合设施的目标是到2030年代每年发电3 000亿千瓦小时。 The five-station complex on the Yarlung Zangbo River aims to generate 300 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually by the 2030s. 虽然中国主张该项目将促进可再生能源和经济增长,尽量减少对环境的影响,但印度和孟加拉国担心下游供水和环境可能受到的潜在损害。 While China asserts the project will boost renewable energy and economic growth with minimal environmental impact, India and Bangladesh worry about potential harm to downstream water supplies and the environment.
