According to the scheme, two power plants will be placed at the toe of the dam, one on each side. The total length of the power plant on the left is about 643.6 m, with 14 sets of turbine generator units installed, while that of the one on the right , 584.2 m in total length, 12 turbine generator units installed. Thus, there are 26 sets of turbine generator units in total (the turbine is of Francis type) , 700 MW for each, totaling 18,200 MW in installed capacity that will produce 84.68 TW/h of electricity output annually. 

500 kV AC transmission lines will send electricity to Central China and the east of Sichuan Province. 600 kV DC transmission lines will send the electricity to East China. There are 15 transmission lines in total.

On the right bank, enough room has been preserved for the future underground power plant with 6 turbine generator units, 4,200 MW of installed capacity. The intakes will be constructed simultaneously with the project.

After completion, the Yangtze River water will be used to produce electricity first at Three Gorges Power Station(TGPS) then regulated by the Gezhouba Project for the purpose of navigation and finally reused for power generation at the Gezhouba Power Station. Thus the total annual output of the two stations is expected to reach 195 billion kwh.When completed, the power output will generate a yearly net value of 10 .5 billion yuan($ 1. 2billion) on the assumption that the price of electricity is 0.1 yuan ($0.0114)per kwh, and an output value of 525 billion yuan($60.3billion)on the assumption that 1 kwh of electricity can produce an output value of 5 yuan ($0.57), which can result in job opportunities for nearly 5.25 million people assuming that a yearly value of 10,000 yuan($1,149)can be created per person.  

It should also be noted that the Project enjoys a very advantageous geographical position, being within 1,000 km of many industrial centers.it is expected to be the network junction for graphical position,being within 1, 000 km of many industrial centers.It is expected to be the network junction for all the power grids in the country. When the grid goes into operation, it will not only supplement the available thermal power, hydro-power and nuclear power in the country, but also upgrade the quality and efficiency of the grid, which will certainly make the Project the national nerve centre-the electricity dispatching centre.
