Large Hydropower Regional Economic Impact Studies

Since the reform and opening up, the rapid growth of China’s economy drivedenergy demand improved quickly. Factors of the energy structure and energyreserves, hydropower development in our country is extremely important. Theconstruction of large hydropower station is an important way to achieve resourceadvantages into economic advantages. The career of China’s hydropowerdevelopment has experienced a process from scratch, hydropower installed capacityhas more than230million kilowatts by2012.With the Jinsha, Lancang and13largehydropower bases, the number of large-scale hydropower, further expand the scale.Large-scale hydropower has a large amount of investment, long project cycle, thesocial impact of a wide range of features, however, for large-scale hydropowerinteraction between the regional economic linkages and mechanisms of action, thepresent study also falters and people to bring the regional economy for thelarge-scale hydropower understanding of the impact there is blurred. To form a clearunderstanding of the scientific assessment.On the basis of the theory of analysis of regional economic development,regional economic evaluation theory of large construction projects, large-scalehydropower features,the paper build large hydropower regional economic evaluationindex system. And select dachaoshan hydropower station with the typicalcharacteristics of the Hydropower Station as a case,to analyze Impacts on all aspectsof the economy Yun County. Argument from the theory and practice of theconstruction and operation of large-scale hydropower role in promoting the regionaleconomy.Compared with the previous regional economic evaluation case, this article hasthree characteristics: First, the evaluation of hydropower regional economic from theconstruction period extends to the operation period, reflecting the taking into accountthe construction period and operation period; Second, build a complete hydropowerregional economic evaluation, the rich hydropower regional economic evaluationtheory; third, the typical case, the regional economic evaluation of hydropowerstations used in the actual assessment, it is necessary to assess Dachaoshan impacton the regional economy, but also proves that the method availability. Analysis can be drawn: the most prominent contribution of large hydropowerstation is to promote regional economic growth, but at the same time also bringsocial and environmental impacts of some of the human control, but overall, greatlypromote the large hydropower station the regional economic and social development,the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
