据水利部统计,2006年全国农村小水电总装机容量为5000万千瓦,占全国水电总装机的37%,年发电量1500多亿千瓦时,是国家电力供应的重要组成部分。农村小水电的可持续发展,对节省不可再生能源,有效提高能源供应意义重大。 According to the statistics from the Ministry of Water Resources, in 2006, the total installed capacity of small hydropower in rural areas was 50 million kilowatts, accounting for 37% of the total installed capacity of hydropower in the country and generating more than 150 billion kwh of electricity a year. This is an important component of the national electricity supply. The sustainable development of small hydropower in rural areas is of great significance to saving non-renewable energy and effectively increasing energy supply.
