The length of the dam reservoir reached 600 km and can accommodate 39.3 cubic km of water of the Yangtze river. The total power generation capacity reached 22,500 MW to about 84.7 TWh of electricity supply.
This dam has a 5-shiplocks flight that can accommodate six vessels of 10,000 tons and a weight of one-step vertical shiplift which can accommodate vessels of 3,000 tons of surface 62 meters to 175 meters of surface water dam in quick time.
