From International Water Power and Dam Construction:
Construction work has taken another step forward for the 12.6GW Xiluodu hydropower scheme on the Jianshajiang river, in China, after the previous set back due to the country’s environmental agency acting on a number of schemes.
Official media in China report that work on damming the Jianshajiang has commenced. Work on the project had started in late 2005 but it suffered delays due to pressure from the State Environmental Protection Administration (Sepa).
