Kukuan Dam, Arch dam in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan
The Kukuan Dam stretches 149 meters across the Dajia River, rising to a height of 85.1 meters with a concrete arch structure designed for water retention.
The construction of Kukuan Dam occurred between 1957 and 1961, marking the third installation in a series of hydroelectric dams along the Dajia River system.
The dam represents Taiwan's commitment to infrastructure development, known locally as Guguan Ba and serving as a symbol of engineering achievement.
Four turbines within the dam's power station generate 180 megawatts of electricity, contributing 507 million kilowatt-hours annually to Taiwan's power grid.
The reservoir formed by Kukuan Dam maintains a water storage capacity of 13.2 million cubic meters between Techi Dam upstream and Tienlun Dam downstream.
