The world's largest impulse hydropower unit successfully completed its rotor hoisting at the Datang Zhala Hydropower Station in Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region on Tuesday, the CCTV News reported. The milestone marks China's entry into the world's leading ranks in innovating core technologies for ultra-high-head, large-capacity impulse hydropower equipment, which will support the development of clean energy in southeastern Xizang.
The Datang Zhala Hydropower Station is a major national project for transmitting electricity from Xizang to other regions. It is equipped with two 500-megawatts impulse units, the largest single-unit generator of this capacity globally, which features technological advantages such as high altitude, ultra-high head, and large capacity.
The project is also the first approved megawatt-level hydropower project in Xizang and a key power source for China's national-level clean energy demonstration base integrating hydropower, wind, and solar resources in southeastern Xizang region, according to media reports.
The rotor hoisted on Wednesday is the "power heart" of the generator that enables energy conversion. Weighing about 840 tons, equivalent to the total weight of 560 sedan cars, its successful installation marks the final sprint phase before the project goes into commercial operation, the report said.
Once fully operational, the hydropower station will generate nearly 4 billion kilowatt hours of clean renewable electricity annually, saving 1.3 million tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 3.42 million tons.
The Datang Zala Hydropower Station is located on the Yuqu River, a tributary of the Nu River, which flows from Southwest China's Yunnan Province to eastern Myanmar and empties into the Andaman Sea.
。 Italy’s far-right-led government on Monday approved a budget for next year that aims to bolster public health services, encourage families to have more children and put more money in the pockets of low- and medium-wage earners.Premier Giorgia Meloni said the 24 billion-euro ($25 billion) budget, which includes 5 billion in spending cuts, is in line with the government’s priorities. She described it as both “serious” and “realistic," even as Italy faces an expected increase of 13 billion euros in payments to service its public debt as interest rates increase.The budget was approved by Meloni's cabinet in a one-hour meeting before being sent for EU approval. Italian Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti expressed confidence that the budget would be accepted by both the EU and markets. A cut in payroll taxes will put 100 euros a month in the pockets of 14 million Italians, aimed at boosting spending power in the face of higher inflation, Meloni said.The budget also includes payroll tax breaks to women with at least two children and will guarantee free nursery school from the second child onward in a bid to “undo the story that having children is a disincentive to work.”Some 3 billion euros has been earmarked for Italy's public health services, with a goal of reducing wait times for services in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, head of the Forza Italia party, called the waiting lists “a national shame. … You can’t die of cancer because they do a scan when you are no longer there."The budget also raises the minimum pension, while cutting from 90 euros to 70 euros the annual fee assessed to households to support RAI state television.Meloni’s Cabinet approved funds to build a long-discussed bridge connecting mainland Italy to Sicily, a pet project of League leader Matteo Salvini, who is the infrastructure minister. Salvini said work would begin next year.。
