After the operation, will have nearly double the capacity function, can effectively enhance the grid power peaks and valleys of the regulation ability, ease the contradiction of the power supply shortage in southern Jiangsu, become the "West-East Power Transmission", "West-East Gas Transmission", extra-high-voltage AC power transmission to the receiving end of the power grid powerful power support. The power station will reduce the consumption of coal in Jiangsu power grid, which will help to alleviate the pressure of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide emission limitations faced by the power industry. In addition, the site of the power station is adjacent to the Lunshan Reservoir, upstream and downstream reservoirs will be formed after the completion of the artificial lake and other new landscapes, the power station is intended to be completed within six years of operation, the project itself and derived from the construction and other industries are expected to be more than 1,000 jobs.
