China Three Gorges Corporation takes first place because of its synonymity with the very idea of hydropower. The Three Gorges Dam is known all over the world, and it remains the single largest power station ever built by installed capacity, capable of generating more electricity in a year than many mid-sized countries consume in total.
That said, the company does much more than operate and maintain the project. It is a vast developer, builder and manager of hydro assets across China and overseas, with a role that extends well beyond generation.
For years now, CTG has helped to deliver low-carbon power at an enormous scale, while also supporting grid stability in one of the world’ s largest electricity systems.
