Silin Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Sinan County, Guizhou Province, China
The Silin Dam spans 310 meters in length and reaches 117 meters in height on the Wu River, using roller-compacted concrete for its construction.
The construction of Silin Dam commenced in October 2004, with river impoundment starting in March 2008 and full operational status achieved by December 2009.
The dam project required careful planning for population displacement, leading to the establishment of new communities in the surrounding Guizhou Province.
Four Francis turbine-generators, each with 270 MW capacity, produce a total of 1,080 MW of electricity while managing water flow in the Wu River.
The reservoir system maintains 184,000,000 cubic meters specifically dedicated to flood storage, protecting downstream communities during high water periods.
