To facilitate such goals, the Sichuan government will invest in four large hydropower stations along the Dadu, Yalong and Jinsha rivers and a clutch of medium-to-large hydropower stations near the cities of Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang, Leshan and Neijiang.

Also in the pipeline are 10 large thermal power plants near the coal-production regions of Yibin, Luzhou, Guangan and Dazhou.
