我国水能资源蕴藏量居世界第一,达6 7605万千瓦(不含台湾1100万千瓦),可装机容量为37 853万千瓦,年发电量为19 200亿千瓦时。到“九五”期末,我国水能资源开发率不足21%,按发电量计不足13%。这不仅落后于美国、加拿大等发达国家,也落后于巴西、埃及和印度等发展中国家。1949年, China’s hydro energy resources rank first in the world, reaching 67.05 million kilowatts (excluding Taiwan’s 11 million kilowatts), with an installed capacity of 378.53 million kilowatts and an annual generation of 1.9 billion kwh. By the end of the “Ninth Five-Year Plan” period, the development rate of hydropower resources in China was less than 21%, and less than 13% in terms of electricity generation. This not only lags behind developed countries such as the United States and Canada, but also lags behind developing countries such as Brazil, Egypt and India. In 1949,
