Yantan Dam, Hydroelectric power station on Hongshui River, Guangxi, China.

The Yantan Dam rises 110 meters high and stretches 525 meters across the Hongshui River, incorporating four Francis turbine-generators for power generation.

Construction of this major infrastructure project started in March 1985, with the first generator becoming operational in September 1992, ahead of schedule.

The construction of the dam required the relocation of 43,176 residents from the area, leading to new settlement communities along the reservoir.

The power station produces 1,210 megawatts of electricity through its four generating units, contributing substantially to the regional power grid.

The dam features a dedicated ship lift system that accommodates vessels up to 250 tons, facilitating navigation through the waterway.
