Congratulations to <strong>China</strong> Yangtze <strong>Three</strong><br />
on the commissioning<br />
A long anticipated moment happened on June 24, 2003: The first unit of<br />
the world's largest hydropower station was synchronized in the heart of the<br />
15 square kilometer site. For the first time, electricity was generated and<br />
fed into the public grid. This was the first of six units to be provided<br />
through the VGS consortium, which consists of <strong>Voith</strong> Siemens <strong>Hydro</strong> Power<br />
Generation and GE <strong>Hydro</strong>, Canada.<br />
