Tukahe Dam

The Tukahe Dam (土卡河) is a gravity dam on the Lixian River, bordering the counties of Luchun and Jiangcheng in Yunnan Province, China. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 165 MW power station. Construction began in 2003 and in 2008 the three 55 MW generators were commissioned. It is the last in a cascade of seven dams on the Lixian.[2][3]
