DAPEIN Hydropower Station: Harmonious Coexistence between Enterprises and the Environment

The 5 June 2023 is the 52nd World Environment Day. This year’s slogan is “Plastic Reduction and Plastic Picking Up”, a call to take action to reduce the use of plastic and clean up plastic wastes in the environment.
In recent days, DAPEIN (I) Hydropower Station has taken “World Environment Day” as an opportunity to organize Chinese and Myanmar employees to carry out a series of themed publicity and environmental improvement activities for the power station, practising the new development concept of “building a modernization in which man and nature live in harmony”. During the activity, Chinese and Myanmar workers braved the scorching sun to thoroughly clean up the road between the plant building and the living area and the sanitary dead corners around the living area, focusing on removing scattered plastic bottles and bags. In addition, Chinese-Myanamr bilingual promotional banners, theme lectures and other carriers were also used to widely publicize the activity, guiding and educating Chinese and Myanmar workers in various forms and angles to take joint actions, pay attention to and participate in environmental protection, and strive to be active disseminators and model practitioners of the concept of ecological civilization.
DAPEIN (I) Hydropower Station is the first clean energy project invested in and constructed by China Datang Corporation. During the construction and operation of the power station, it adheres to the tenet of “ecological priority and green development” and continues to strengthen corporate environmental management. Especially in the past five years, the construction of the “Beautiful DAPEIN Hydropower Station” has continuously progressed. A total of more than 1,500 fruit trees such as mango and citron trees and seedlings with local characteristics have been planted in the plant area, living area, and on both sides of the road. The environment of the power station has been continuously improved and enhanced.
As of 1 June 2023, the hydropower station has achieved safe operation for 3,985 days, with a cumulative power generation of 10.096 billion kWh, saving about 1.24 million tonnes of standard coal, reducing about 830,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions and about 20,000 tonnes of sulfur dioxide emissions, finally achieving a harmonious coexistence between enterprises and nature.
