Shweli I Dam, Gravity dam on Shweli River near Namhkam, Myanmar
The Shweli I Dam extends 177 meters in length and rises 47 meters high, creating a reservoir with a capacity of 24.11 million cubic meters.
Construction of the dam commenced in 2002, with river diversion completed in 2006 and the final generator becoming operational in April 2009.
The development of this hydroelectric facility transformed local communities from kerosene lamp users to beneficiaries of consistent electrical power supply.
The power station contains six Francis turbines generating 600 megawatts of electricity, delivering 4,022 gigawatt-hours of power annually.
The dam utilizes a 5.1-kilometer headrace tunnel and a hydraulic head of 299 meters to channel water toward its downstream power station.
