The river's total length is 910km, with approximately 427km in China and 527km in Vietnam.
Hydroelectric power
The Black River yields substantial hydroelectric power.
In China, seven dams are planned of which six, the Yayangshan Dam, Shimenkan Dam, Longma Dam, Jufudu Dam, Gelantan Dam, and Tukahe Dam, have been completed. The Xinpingzhai Dam is still in the planning stage.[3][4][5] The total installed power capacity of this series of dams is approximately 1,300 megawatts.[6]
In Vietnam, there are three large hydroelectric plants on the Black River. The Hòa Bình Dam was completed in 1994. The Sơn La Dam was completed in 2012 and became the largest hydroelectric producer in Southeast Asia. The Lai Châu Dam in the Mường Tè district of Lai Châu province was inaugurated on December 20, 2016.[7] The total installed power capacity of these three dams is 5520 megawatts.
