In context: how this plant compares

At 3 MW, Dacaoba Mian Countychina is below the median hydro plant in China (24 MW). Technically it is described as pumped storage. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Hydropower converts the energy of falling or flowing water into electricity; output depends on rainfall and reservoir level, and large dams also provide grid balancing and storage.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
