10月28日，漢(han)江流(liu)域水(shui)(shui)電(dian)開(kai)發(fa)的重要工程，湖北(bei)省最大的水(shui)(shui)電(dian)項目潘口水(shui)(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)舉行了隆重開(kai)工儀式(shi)。湖北(bei)省、十堰(yan)市領(ling)(ling)導、京能(neng)集團(tuan)、中國水(shui)(shui)電(dian)建設集團(tuan)水(shui)(shui)電(dian)五(wu)局、六(liu)局等單位領(ling)(ling)導和職工以(yi)及移民代表等近萬(wan)人(ren)參(can)加(jia)了開(kai)工慶典儀式(shi)。湖北(bei)堵河(he)潘口水(shui)(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)的開(kai)工建設，拉開(kai)了漢(han)江堵河(he)流(liu)域4座水(shui)(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)建設的帷幕，并可提(ti)高(gao)中線南(nan)水(shui)(shui)北(bei)調供水(shui)(shui)量和供水(shui)(shui)保證率(lv)，具有特別重要的意(yi)義。
上(shang)(shang)午10點53分，隨著(zhu)開(kai)工(gong)令的下達，潘口(kou)水(shui)電站工(gong)程(cheng)建設正式啟動。頓時(shi)，整個工(gong)地(di)上(shang)(shang)鑼鼓喧天(tian)，鞭炮齊鳴，彩帶飛舞；一蔟(cu)蔟(cu)的彩色氣(qi)球升上(shang)(shang)了天(tian)空，整個會(hui)場鼓樂(le)聲聲，熱鬧非凡。
潘口水(shui)(shui)(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)位(wei)(wei)于堵河下(xia)游(you)河段。堵河為漢(han)江中下(xia)游(you)南岸(an)的(de)一級支(zhi)流，發(fa)源于大巴山(shan)北麓，全(quan)長(chang)354公里，總落差超過500米(mi)。該電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)是惠澤(ze)竹山(shan)、竹溪(xi)縣(xian)的(de)湖(hu)北省(sheng)重(zhong)(zhong)點扶貧(pin)項目(mu)，是漢(han)江堵河流域(yu)梯(ti)級電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)開(kai)(kai)發(fa)中最大的(de)龍頭電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)之(zhi)一。總投資43.97億元(yuan)、裝機(ji)51.3萬千(qian)(qian)瓦，年(nian)發(fa)電(dian)量10.5億千(qian)(qian)瓦時。壩址控(kong)制(zhi)流域(yu)面(mian)積(ji)8950平(ping)方公里。該電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)以發(fa)電(dian)為主(zhu)，兼有(you)(you)防洪(hong)、扶貧(pin)、生態保護(hu)等(deng)(deng)多重(zhong)(zhong)效(xiao)(xiao)益。樞紐工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)主(zhu)要建(jian)筑物包括：河床(chuang)混凝(ning)土面(mian)板堆石壩、右岸(an)岸(an)邊(bian)開(kai)(kai)敞式溢(yi)洪(hong)道、右岸(an)泄洪(hong)洞、左岸(an)引水(shui)(shui)(shui)發(fa)電(dian)系統(tong)等(deng)(deng)。水(shui)(shui)(shui)電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)設計(ji)壩高(gao)(gao)114米(mi)；壩頂長(chang)292米(mi)；水(shui)(shui)(shui)庫正(zheng)常(chang)蓄水(shui)(shui)(shui)水(shui)(shui)(shui)位(wei)(wei)355米(mi)，為完全(quan)年(nian)調(diao)節水(shui)(shui)(shui)庫。由進(jin)水(shui)(shui)(shui)口、引水(shui)(shui)(shui)遂洞、地(di)面(mian)廠房、開(kai)(kai)關站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)等(deng)(deng)組(zu)成(cheng)(cheng)，設有(you)(you)3臺發(fa)電(dian)機(ji)組(zu)；屬大型一等(deng)(deng)工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)。電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)建(jian)成(cheng)(cheng)后可有(you)(you)效(xiao)(xiao)緩(huan)解湖(hu)北電(dian)網的(de)調(diao)峰、調(diao)頻(pin)壓力，對(dui)優(you)化系統(tong)的(de)電(dian)源結構、降低火電(dian)機(ji)組(zu)煤耗、提高(gao)(gao)電(dian)網安(an)全(quan)運行都具有(you)(you)十分重(zhong)(zhong)要的(de)作用。電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)建(jian)設工(gong)期為3年(nian)零7個月。其(qi)中工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)準備期為12個月，主(zhu)體(ti)工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)施(shi)工(gong)期30個月，工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)完建(jian)期1個月。工(gong)程(cheng)(cheng)(cheng)計(ji)劃2008年(nian)10月實施(shi)堵河截(jie)流，2010年(nian)正(zheng)式下(xia)閘蓄水(shui)(shui)(shui)。電(dian)站(zhan)(zhan)(zhan)距竹山(shan)縣(xian)城(cheng)13公里，距十堰市162公里。
