Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- The building of minor hydro-power stations is being accelerated along with large hydro-power stations in Korea.
Last year the Anbyon Youth Power Station, one of miracles in the 1990s, the Wolbisan Power Station and small and Medium-sized power stations were built in south Phyongan Province, Ryanggang Province and other provinces and counties.
Secretary Kim Jong Il has wisely led the extensive building of large and minor hydro-power stations conforming to the natural conditions of the country abundant in hydro-power resources.
He gave on-the-spot guidance to the construction of the Anbyon Youth Power Station and other large hydro-power stations last year to realise as early as possible the far-sighted plan of President Kim Il Sung for developing power industry.
Visiting the Wolbisan Power Station built in a short span of time, Secretary Kim Jong Il said that large-sized as well as small and medium-sized hydro-power stations should be constructed in different parts of the country rich in hydro-power resources.
During his on-site guidance to Jagang Province in the 1960s, he created a model of minor power stations and popularized the experience of its construction all over the country.
The building of minor power stations has since been invigorated in all parts of the country.
More than 200 minor power stations were built in this decade.
Many large and minor power stations have been erected since then.
More power stations are expected to be built along rivers in the future.
