The Gongbaixia dam (also: Gongboxia) is a dam with a hydroelectric power station on the Huang He (Yellow River) in the north of the People's Republic of China.
The five turbines of the hydropower plant each have a nominal output of 300 megawatts. This can generate 5.14 billion kWh per year .
For the structure, a stone embankment dam with concrete cover ( CFRD ), there are the heights of 127, 132 and 139 m according to various sources.
