Yangbajain Geothermal Power Station of Tibet Electric Power Company or Yangbajain Geothermal Power Station, located in Yangbajain, Dangxiong County, Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China, is a branch of Tibet Electric Power Company.

History

In the early 1970s, a geological exploration team came to the Yangbajain area and found hot springs emitting heat. Since then, the construction of the Yangbajain Geothermal Experimental Power Station was gradually put on the agenda.[1]

In 1975, the State Council of the People's Republic of China listed the geothermal development of Yangbajain as a key project of the national 5th "Five-Year Plan". The state has allocated more than 200 million RMB. The Third Geological Brigade of Tibet used core drilling to successfully drill China's first wet steam well in Yangbajain. A group of people from Tsinghua University conductede experiments with a 300-kilowatt unit here, and on September 23, 1975, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Scientific Research Team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Third Geological Brigade of Tibet cooperated in installing a 300-kilowatt geothermal experimental unit to generate electricity successfully. The People's Government of Tibet Autonomous Region then set up the "Geothermal Engineering Command Department" and the "Nine-23 Engineering Department", and began to develop the No. 1 machine. In 1976, the first megawatt-class geothermal generating unit generated electricity here, and entered the industrial power generation. In October 1977, the first 1,000-kilowatt test unit of Yangbajain Geothermal Experimental Power Station generated electricity and was put into operation.[2][3]

In 1985, Li Peng, the Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, inspected the Yangbajain Geothermal Power Plant, which had an installed capacity of 10 megawatts in that year, and sent power to Lhasa via a 110 kV transmission line. On July 25, 1990, Jiang Zemin, the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, visited the Yangbajain Geothermal Power Plant, wrote comments with the inscription: "Develop geothermal resources for the benefit of the Tibetan people". In that year, the plant's installed capacity had reached 19 megawatts, generating 6,059.58 kilowatts per hour, accounting for 39.70% of the total power generation in Lhasa's power grid that year (hydropower accounted for 57.52% of the total power generation in that year, and oil-fired thermal power accounted for 2.78% of the total power generation). Since then, the plant has installed two additional 3 MW units, thus reaching a total capacity of 25.18 MW.
