Shimenkan Dam, Arch dam and hydroelectric station in Yunnan Province, China
The Shimenkan Dam spans 356 meters across the Lixian River between Ning'er and Mojiang County, with twin Francis turbines generating power.
Construction of the Shimenkan Dam began in 2007 under the direction of Yunnan Datang International Lixianjiang River Basin Hydropower Development Company.
The dam represents a shift in Chinese infrastructure development toward renewable energy sources while maintaining water resources for local communities.
The power station contains two 65-megawatt turbines that produce approximately 570 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually for regional distribution.
The structure rises 116 meters high and creates a reservoir with a capacity of 197 million cubic meters at an elevation of 756 meters.
