China Three Gorges Corporation

China Three Gorges Corporation

China Three Gorges Corporation was established in 1993 as a state-owned enterprise. Its founding mandate centered on construction and operation of large-scale hydropower facilities. The firm focuses on hydropower plant construction, power generation, and renewable energy development. It maintains domestic operations across multiple Chinese provinces and holds overseas projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Confirmed holdings include the Three Gorges Dam in Yichang. In 2023 China Communications Construction Co acquired China International Water & Electric Corp from the corporation. The entity employs staff at its Wuhan headquarters and Beijing office. It maintains the China Three Gorges Corporation Public Welfare Foundation for philanthropic activities. In 2024 the corporation joined the United Nations Global Compact. Ownership rests with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which sets strategic direction and regulatory oversight. This structure separates operational management from direct government administration while retaining state control over capital allocation.
