Hydropower operator looks to third-party opportunities

China Three Gorges Corp, which built and now operates the world's largest hydroelectric power plant - at Three Gorges Dam - is looking forward to further cooperation with Portugal to jointly tap the potential of third-party markets.

In addition to the 950-megawatt Moray offshore wind project in Scotland that CTGC and Portuguese power company Energias de Portugal will jointly explore, the Beijing-based company said it looks forward to more exploration of third-party markets around the world.

The two sides have made significant progress in third-party markets since a strategic partnership was established in 2011. The companies aim to further combine efforts to become a worldwide leader in renewable energy generation.
