Panjiakou Dam, Gravity dam and hydroelectric power station in Qianxi County, China.
The Panjiakou Dam spans 1,040 meters across the Luan River, reaching a height of 107.5 meters with 18 floodgates for water management.
The construction of Panjiakou Dam started in 1975, with its first generator becoming operational in 1981 and full completion of the initial phase in 1984.
The flooding of the reservoir submerged the ancient Panjiakou Pass section of the Great Wall, which becomes visible during periods of drought.
The dam generates 420 megawatts of power through its combined hydroelectric and pumped storage systems, supplying electricity to surrounding regions.
The lower reservoir, located 5.5 kilometers downstream, works in tandem with the main dam to create an efficient pumped storage power generation system.
