(250813) -- DUBREKA (GUINEA), Aug. 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Aerial photo taken on April 24, 2025 shows a view of the Kaleta Hydropower Station in Dubreka, Guinea. On the Konkoure River flowing down from the Fouta Djallon highlands in central Guinea, the striking structure of the Kaleta Hydropower Station is reflected in the waters. The facility has supplied stable electricity to the national capital of Conakry and villages in the northern mountains, now featured on Guinea's 20,000-franc banknote, which shows a stark contrast to the scene a decade ago. In August 2015, the Kaleta Hydropower Station, constructed by China International Water and Electric Corporation (CWE), a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Communications Construction Company Limited, commenced full operations. Its average annual output of 1.125 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity filled nearly half of the national power gap and increased the share of renewables in Guinea's energy mix.TO GO WITH "Feature: Kaleta Hydropower Station embodies vitality of China-Guinea energy cooperation" (Xinhua/Han Xu)
