Hydropower projects in Tibet are capable of supplying all of Germany with energy. A new study by the International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) documents 193 projects that are already in operation, under construction or at the planning stage. Once completed, the plants will be able to produce a total output of 270 gigawatts. This corresponds to Germany’s energy consumption in 2022.
