Upper Paunglaung Dam, Gravity dam on Paunglaung River, Myanmar
The Upper Paunglaung Dam rises 103 meters high and extends 530 meters across the river, containing 1.1 million cubic meters of concrete.
Construction of the dam started in January 2005, with roller-compacted concrete placement beginning in October 2010 and completion achieved in December 2015.
The dam construction required the relocation of 15,000 residents from the surrounding area, leading to changes in traditional agricultural practices and living patterns.
The hydroelectric power station at Upper Paunglaung Dam generates 140 megawatts of electricity, contributing to Myanmar's national power grid and water management system.
The reservoir formed by the dam stores 1.3 billion cubic meters of water, enhancing the power generation capabilities of the downstream Lower Paunglaung Dam.
