Recently, the Xinjiang Kurgan Water Conservancy Hub Project, constructed by Sinohydro Bureau 3 Co., Ltd., successfully achieved the key milestone of gate closure and reservoir impoundment, 10 months ahead of the original schedule, marking the project's transition from the construction phase to the initial operation phase.

The Kurgan Water Conservancy Hub Project is located in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, on the middle reaches of the Kushan River. It is a national mountain-area controlling backbone hub project under the 14th Five-Year Plan, one of the 150 major water conservancy projects designated by the State Council, and a major livelihood and public welfare project for consolidating poverty alleviation achievements and advancing the rural revitalization strategy in the three counties of the Kushan River irrigation district.

The project is expected to be fully completed in 2026. By then, it will add 69 million cubic meters of water supply annually to Akto County, Yingjisha County, and Shule County in the Kushan River basin, raising the agricultural irrigation guarantee rate in the Kushan River irrigation district from 40% to 75%, greatly enhancing the stability and reliability of agricultural irrigation. At the same time, by using the water released from the reservoir for power generation, it will deliver 85 million kWh of clean electricity annually to Kashgar and Kizilsu Prefecture, strongly promoting the optimization of the local energy structure and sustainable development.

Sinohydro Bureau 3 Co., Ltd. will continue to maintain its momentum and press ahead, carrying forward the fine tradition of hydropower builders of "pursuing excellence and striving for perfection," meticulously crafting project quality with a craftsman's spirit, firmly safeguarding production safety with a nail-driving spirit, strictly abiding by the contract, and making every effort to deliver a high-quality, high-standard satisfactory result to the project owner and local government, contributing even greater strength to regional development.

Personnel from relevant units attended the gate closure and reservoir impoundment ceremony.
