Mingtan Dam, Gravity dam in Nantou County, Taiwan

The Mingtan Dam spans 314 meters across the Shuili River, incorporating concrete construction with a height of 61.5 meters to manage water resources.

The construction period from 1987 to 1995 marked a significant phase in Taiwan's infrastructure development for addressing peak electricity demands.

The dam forms an integral part of Taiwan's renewable energy system, connecting with Sun Moon Lake to create a dual-reservoir hydroelectric generation network.

Four Francis pump-turbines within the dam structure generate 252 megawatts each, contributing to the power supply during periods of high electricity demand.

The facility operates through a reversible system, releasing water for power generation during peak hours and pumping it back during low consumption periods.
