The global power generation projects are showing a diversified development trend, covering various types such as thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power, wind power, photovoltaics, biomass energy, geothermal energy, and ocean energy. Each type of project occupies different positions in the global energy structure and exhibits unique development trends. The following introduces global power generation projects from different types of power generation: Thermal power project The largest thermal power plant: Taichung Power Plant in Taiwan, China, China, is the world's largest coal-fired power plant, with an installed capacity of 5780 MW and an annual power generation of 25 billion kilowatt hours, accounting for 1/5 of the total electricity demand in Taiwan. Development trend: With the global emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable development, the development of thermal power projects is subject to certain limitations. However, in some areas with abundant coal resources, thermal power remains the main source of electricity. Hydroelectric projects The largest hydroelectric power plant: China's Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest hydroelectric power plant with a total installed capacity of 22500 megawatts. The Three Gorges Dam is not only an important component of China's energy structure, but also a model for the global development of clean energy. Development trend: Hydropower projects continue to play an important role globally, especially in countries and regions with abundant hydropower resources. With the continuous advancement of technology, the efficiency and reliability of hydropower projects are also constantly improving. nuclear power project The largest nuclear power plant: Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant in Niigata Prefecture, Japan was once the world's largest nuclear power plant with an installed capacity of 8212 megawatts. But after the Fukushima incident, the nuclear power plant was shut down. China's nuclear power development: The number of nuclear power units under construction in China has consistently ranked first in the world for many years. As of 2025, the total number of nuclear power units in operation, under construction, and approved for construction in China has reached 102, with a total installed capacity of 113 million kilowatts, and the overall scale of nuclear power has jumped to the world's first place for the first time. Development trend: Nuclear power, as a clean and efficient form of energy, is gradually increasing its position in the global energy structure. However, the safety and waste disposal issues of nuclear power projects remain key factors restricting their development. wind power project The largest wind power plant: The Alta Wind Energy Center in the United States is currently the world's largest wind power plant, with an installed capacity of 1020 megawatts and is under expansion, with an expected installed capacity of 1550 megawatts. Development trend: Wind power projects are showing a rapid growth trend worldwide. Onshore wind power technology is mature, while offshore wind power has become a new trend in wind power development due to its abundant resources and stable wind speeds. China is the world's largest wind power market, and the export of wind power equipment is also showing a rapid growth trend.
