Tienlun Dam, Gravity dam in Heping District, Taichung, Taiwan
The Tienlun Dam extends 91 meters in length and rises 48.2 meters high on the Dajia River, forming a substantial concrete barrier in the mountainous terrain.
The construction of Tienlun Dam, completed in 1956, marked a crucial development in Taiwan's post-war infrastructure expansion and hydroelectric power generation capabilities.
The dam's name, written as 天輪壩 in traditional Chinese characters, reflects the local naming conventions while indicating its purpose as a water management structure.
The facility maintains five turbines with a combined capacity of 195 megawatts, generating 557 gigawatt hours of electricity annually for the surrounding communities.
Located between the Ma'an Dam and Kukuan Dam, this structure serves as the fourth in a sequence of hydroelectric installations along the Dajia River system.
