Hydroelectricity is currently China's largest renewable energy source and the second overall after coal.China's installed hydroelectric capacity in 2015 was 356 GW, up from 172 GW in 2009, including 23 GW of pumped storage hydroelectricity capacity.According to the International Hydropower Association China is the worlds largest producer of hydroelectricity in 2021. In 2018, hydropower generated 1,232 TWh of power, accounting for roughly 18% of China's total electricity generation.

  • Hydroelectricity is currently China's largest renewable energy source and the second overall after coal.China's installed hydroelectric capacity in 2015 was 356 GW, up from 172 GW in 2009, including 23 GW of pumped storage hydroelectricity capacity.According to the International Hydropower Association China is the worlds largest producer of hydroelectricity in 2021. In 2018, hydropower generated 1,232 TWh of power, accounting for roughly 18% of China's total electricity generation. Due to China's insufficient reserves of fossil fuels and the government's preference for energy independence, hydropower plays a big part in the energy policy of the country.China's potential hydropower capacity is estimated at up to 400 GW. There is therefore considerable potential for further hydro development. Hydroelectric plants in China have a relatively low productivity, with an average capacity factor of 31%, a possible consequence of rushed construction and the seasonal variability of rainfall. Moreover, a significant amount of energy is lost due to the need for long transmission lines to connect the remote plants to where demand is most concentrated. Although hydroelectricity represents the largest renewable and low greenhouse gas emissions energy source in the country, the social and environmental impact of dam construction in China has been large, with millions of people forced to relocate and large scale damage to the environment.

  • L'hydroélectricité en Chine se situe en 2021 au 1er rang mondial aussi bien pour sa puissance installée (28,7 % du total mondial) que pour sa production (31,5 %). Elle fournissait 17,0 % de la production d'électricité du pays en 2020. La Chine est aussi au 1er rang mondial pour la puissance de ses centrales de pompage-turbinage avec 21,8 % du total mondial. La centrale du barrage des Trois-Gorges est la plus puissante du monde, suivie par la centrale de Baihetan, en cours de mise en service, et sur les 34 barrages de plus de 3 000 MW en 2020, 13 étaient en Chine. Les objectifs du gouvernement sont de porter la capacité hydroélectrique à 510 GW en 2050 contre 352 GW fin 2018 et la capacité de pompage-turbinage à 150 GW contre 30 GW. La plupart des barrages hydroélectriques se trouvent au centre et au sud-ouest de la Chine, surtout dans les provinces de Sichuan et Yunnan. Des milliers de kilomètres de lignes de transport à haute tension ouest-est ont été construites pour relier ces capacités aux régions côtières énergivores. (fr)
