It is also an important energy base in central Tibet,&#8221; the company said.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said when the electricity is ample in the summer season, part of the electricity will be transmitted to the neighbouring Qinghai province, Xinhua report said.<\/p>\n<p>Investment of the hydropower station, about 140 kilometers from Tibetan capital Lhasa, totalled 9.6 billion yuan (about USD 1.5 billion).<\/p>\n<p>The first unit began operations last November.<\/p>\n<p>Reports in the past said besides Zangmu, China is reportedly building few more dams. China seeks to ally Indian fears saying that they are the run-of-the-river projects which were not designed to hold water.<\/p>\n<p>The dams also raised concerns in India over China&#8217;s ability to release water in times of conflict which could pose serious risk of flooding.<\/p>\n<p>An Indian inter-ministerial expert group (IMEG) on the Brahmaputra in 2013 said the dams were being built on the upper reaches and called for further monitoring considering their impact on the flow of waters to the lower reaches.<\/p>\n<p>The IMEG noted that the three dams, Jiexu, Zangmu and Jiacha are within 25km of each other and are 550km from the Indian border.<\/p>\n<p>India has been taking up the issue with China for the past few years the two countries reached.<\/p>\n<p>Under the understanding reached in 2013, Chinese side agreed to provide more flood data of Brahmaputra from May to October instead of June to October in the previous agreements river water agreements in 2008 and 2010.<\/p>\n<p>India is concerned that if the waters are diverted, then projects on the Brahmaputra, particularly the Upper Siang and Lower Suhansri projects in Arunachal Pradesh, may get affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China on Tuesday operationalised the USD 1.5 billion Zam Hydropower Station, the largest in Tibet, built on the Brahmaputra river, which has raised concerns in India over the likelihood of disrupting water supplies.
