Longtan Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Tian'e County, Guangxi, China

The Longtan Dam reaches a height of 216 meters and extends 849 meters across the Hongshui River, containing nine Francis turbines for power generation.

Construction of this massive infrastructure project began in July 2001, with the river diversion completed by November 2003 and water impoundment starting in 2006.

The development required the relocation of over 43,000 residents from the surrounding areas, transforming the social landscape of the Tian'e County region.

The power station generates 18,700 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, supplying energy to multiple provinces while managing water resources through its reservoir system.

The facility incorporates the world's tallest ship lift system, designed to elevate vessels weighing up to 500 tonnes along the Hongshui River navigation route.
