2005 is the second year when the Three Gorges Project entered Phase III Construction period in an all round way and also the critical year for Phase III Construction period of the Three Gorges Project. The progress of the project meets overall requirements with steady improvement of project quality. The key structures operate safely with power generation exceeding the production target. The ship lock has smooth operation with orderly shipment. The capacity of the key water conservancy structure has enjoyed further improvement in terms of flood control, water resource management, power generation and navigation. The comprehensive benefits of the project came up.
In 2005, a total of 1.6944 million m3 of concrete were poured; and over 21,000 tons of machinery and electric components were buried and installed on site. The dam of the right bank reached the height of 160 m, exceeding the 158 m target of that year. All the power generation sets of the left-bank power plant of the Three Gorges were put into operation. In addition, the quality of the Three Gorges Reservoir Project enjoyed a steady increase. A total of 4,711 subprojects had passed review and examination, 100% qualified with 91.91% being good project. A total of 11.819 billion yuan RMB was invested in the huge project, among them, 6.13 billion yuan for the construction of key structures and 5.689 billion yuan for inundation compensation.
On September 16, 2005, with the on-grid power generation of No.9 generation sets of the left-bank power plant, the 14 power generation sets with the capacity of 700,000 kW were put into operation one year ahead of schedule with the output of 49.1 billion kWh. The accumulated power generation from the terraced power plants from the Three Gorges to Gezhouba Dam reached 65.34 billion kWh, exceeding the power generation target of that year.
In 2005, the ship lock of the Three Gorges Dams had realized safe navigation for 364 days, with annual accumulated operation of 8,373 lock times, 63,800 pass of ships, 32.69 million tons of goods and 1.875 million passengers.
