The Shatuo Dam ( Chinese 沙 沱 水电站 , Pinyin Shātuó Shuĭdiànzhàn ) is a dam on the Wu Jiang in the Yanhe autonomous region of the Chinese province of Guizhou .
Building
The groundbreaking ceremony for the structure took place on June 28, 2006 and excavation work began shortly afterwards. In 2008, after the river was shut off, part of the dam collapsed due to the karst foundation and had to be reconstructed. On April 19, 2009, the river was dammed and the reservoir began to fill up. A lock is planned; its completion is expected in 2020.
The hydropower plant went into operation in 2010. It should deliver an average of 4.55 billion kWh annually.
