Pyongyang, July 28 (KCNA) -- Great efforts are being directed to the construction of large and minor hydropower stations in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The builders of the Orangchon Power Station are constructing a dam in real earnest following the completion of cofferdam and bedrock projects. And the construction of Hungju Youth Power Station no. 2 is rapidly progressing at the final stage.
Such large power stations as Anbyon Youth, Thaechon, Kumjingang and Songchongang power stations and many minor power stations have been erected in different parts of the country in recent years.
Jagang Province, which already built Hungju Youth Power Station no. 1 and other large power stations and more than 200 minor power stations, meets its demand for electricity by itself.
Kim Jong Il has unfurled a far-reaching plan for the development of the nation's power industry and has wisely led the construction of large and minor hydropower stations.
While guiding on the spot the project of the Orangchon Hydropower Station some time ago, he said that it is good from an economic point of view to construct hydropower stations by making use of the natural and geographical conditions of the country, which is abundant in rivers and streams. he also said the construction of such power stations provides a shortcut to solving the nation's ever-increasing demand for electricity.
More and more hydropower stations will be built in big and small rivers and streams in the DPRK.
