Minghu Dam, Gravity dam in Nantou County, Taiwan
The Minghu Dam extends 169.5 meters in length and rises 57.5 meters high on the Shuili River, located 7 kilometers north of Shuili Township.
The construction of this concrete dam started in 1980 and reached completion in 1985, marking the establishment of Taiwan's first pumped-storage hydroelectric facility.
This dam represents a central element in Taiwan's energy infrastructure, enabling the management of water resources between its reservoir and Sun Moon Lake.
Four reversible Francis pump-turbine-generators operate at the dam, each producing 252 megawatts for a total capacity of 1,008 megawatts.
During nighttime hours when electricity demand decreases, the system pumps water from the dam's reservoir upward to Sun Moon Lake for energy storage.
