10月28日，漢(han)江(jiang)(jiang)流域(yu)水(shui)電(dian)(dian)開(kai)發的重要工(gong)程，湖北(bei)省最大的水(shui)電(dian)(dian)項目潘口(kou)(kou)水(shui)電(dian)(dian)站舉行了隆重開(kai)工(gong)儀式(shi)。湖北(bei)省、十堰(yan)市領(ling)導(dao)、京能集團、中國水(shui)電(dian)(dian)建設(she)(she)集團水(shui)電(dian)(dian)五局、六局等單位領(ling)導(dao)和職工(gong)以(yi)及移民代(dai)表等近萬人參加了開(kai)工(gong)慶典儀式(shi)。湖北(bei)堵河潘口(kou)(kou)水(shui)電(dian)(dian)站的開(kai)工(gong)建設(she)(she)，拉(la)開(kai)了漢(han)江(jiang)(jiang)堵河流域(yu)4座水(shui)電(dian)(dian)站建設(she)(she)的帷幕，并(bing)可提高中線南水(shui)北(bei)調供水(shui)量(liang)和供水(shui)保證(zheng)率，具有特別(bie)重要的意(yi)義。
上午10點53分，隨(sui)著開工令的下達，潘口水電站工程建設正(zheng)式(shi)啟(qi)動(dong)。頓時，整個工地(di)上鑼鼓(gu)喧天，鞭炮齊(qi)鳴，彩帶(dai)飛(fei)舞；一蔟(cu)蔟(cu)的彩色氣球(qiu)升上了天空，整個會(hui)場鼓(gu)樂(le)聲聲，熱鬧非凡。
潘口水(shui)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站位(wei)于(yu)堵(du)(du)河下游(you)河段。堵(du)(du)河為漢(han)江中(zhong)下游(you)南岸(an)的(de)一(yi)(yi)級(ji)支流，發源(yuan)于(yu)大(da)巴山(shan)北(bei)(bei)麓，全(quan)長354公(gong)(gong)里，總(zong)(zong)落差超(chao)過500米。該電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站是惠澤(ze)竹山(shan)、竹溪縣的(de)湖北(bei)(bei)省重(zhong)點扶貧(pin)項(xiang)目，是漢(han)江堵(du)(du)河流域(yu)梯級(ji)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站開發中(zhong)最(zui)大(da)的(de)龍頭電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站之一(yi)(yi)。總(zong)(zong)投資43.97億元、裝機51.3萬千瓦，年(nian)發電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量10.5億千瓦時。壩址(zhi)控制流域(yu)面積8950平方公(gong)(gong)里。該電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站以發電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)為主，兼有防洪(hong)、扶貧(pin)、生(sheng)態(tai)保(bao)護等(deng)多(duo)重(zhong)效(xiao)益(yi)。樞紐工程(cheng)主要建(jian)筑(zhu)物包(bao)括(kuo)：河床混凝土(tu)面板(ban)堆石(shi)壩、右(you)岸(an)岸(an)邊開敞式(shi)(shi)溢洪(hong)道(dao)、右(you)岸(an)泄(xie)洪(hong)洞(dong)、左岸(an)引水(shui)發電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)系(xi)統等(deng)。水(shui)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站設(she)計(ji)壩高(gao)114米；壩頂(ding)長292米；水(shui)庫(ku)正常蓄(xu)水(shui)水(shui)位(wei)355米，為完(wan)全(quan)年(nian)調(diao)節水(shui)庫(ku)。由進水(shui)口、引水(shui)遂洞(dong)、地面廠房(fang)、開關站等(deng)組成，設(she)有3臺發電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)機組；屬大(da)型一(yi)(yi)等(deng)工程(cheng)。電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站建(jian)成后(hou)可有效(xiao)緩解(jie)湖北(bei)(bei)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)的(de)調(diao)峰、調(diao)頻(pin)壓力(li)，對(dui)優(you)化系(xi)統的(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)源(yuan)結構(gou)、降低火電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)機組煤耗、提高(gao)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)網(wang)(wang)安全(quan)運行(xing)都具有十分(fen)重(zhong)要的(de)作用。電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站建(jian)設(she)工期(qi)為3年(nian)零7個(ge)月(yue)(yue)。其中(zhong)工程(cheng)準備期(qi)為12個(ge)月(yue)(yue)，主體工程(cheng)施(shi)工期(qi)30個(ge)月(yue)(yue)，工程(cheng)完(wan)建(jian)期(qi)1個(ge)月(yue)(yue)。工程(cheng)計(ji)劃2008年(nian)10月(yue)(yue)實施(shi)堵(du)(du)河截流，2010年(nian)正式(shi)(shi)下閘蓄(xu)水(shui)。電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)站距(ju)竹山(shan)縣城13公(gong)(gong)里，距(ju)十堰市(shi)162公(gong)(gong)里。
