Kangwon Province is pressing on with the construction of hydropower stations.

According to information available, it excavated over 12 000 metres of waterway tunnels and piled well over a million cubic metres of earth this year, while speeding up the construction of generator rooms.

Kosong and Hoeyang counties have done a great deal of work after making a breakthrough for accelerating dam building projects by carrying out 100 000-, 300 000- and 700 000-cubic-metre blastings this year.

In particular, Phyonggang County finished the excavation for foundations of a dam and carried out the banking plan at 80 percent. The construction of a generator room is also being carried on simultaneously.
