小水电在湖南是一大优势,是能源组成中的一个重要方面。从近几年的实践经验看,小水电建设的发展产生了很大的社会效益和经济效益。它可以促进地方工业、乡镇企业的发展,把一个县、一个乡的经济和财政搞活;可以改变农业生产条件,提高人民生活水平。因此,必须充分利用丰富的水力资源,积极发展小水电,加快农村电气化建设步伐,为振兴湖南经济提供能源保证。当前,湖南小水电建设应注意以下两个问题: 一,对小水电建设的认识问题。小水电的重要作用已被越来越多的人所认识,但现在仍有一些人,特别是部分领导同志对小水电发展有一种偏见,认为湖南是水电多了,火电少了,“水火失调”,小水电办的越多,丰枯矛盾越大。这种论点是不符合实际的。前段小水电建设确实存在一些缺点,径流电站较多,丰枯矛盾也较大。这是因为我们缺 Small hydropower is a major advantage in Hunan and is an important aspect of energy composition. Judging from the practical experience in recent years, the development of small hydropower has brought great social and economic benefits. It can promote the development of local industry and township enterprises, invigorate the economy and finance of one county and one township, change the conditions of agricultural production and raise the living standards of the people. Therefore, we must make full use of abundant water resources, actively develop small hydropower, accelerate the pace of rural electrification, and provide energy guarantee for revitalizing Hunan’s economy. At present, Hunan’s construction of small hydropower should pay attention to the following two questions: First, the awareness of small hydropower construction. The important role of small hydropower has been recognized by more and more people. However, there are still some people, especially some leading comrades, who prejudice the development of small hydropower. They think that hydropower is more in Hunan and less thermal power, "The more small hydropower to do, the greater the contradiction between abundance and vitality. This argument is not realistic. There are indeed some shortcomings in the construction of small hydropower stations in the preceding paragraph. There are more runoff stations, and the contradiction between abundance and dryness is also larger. This is because we are missing
