The Jishixia Dam is a concrete face rock-fill embankment dam on the Yellow River in Qinghai Province, China. It is 101 m (331 ft) tall and downstream from the Gongboxia Dam. The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and flood control. The dam supports a power station with 3 x 340 MW Francis turbines for a total installed capacity of 1,020 MW. Construction on the dam began in 2005 and the river was diverted in March 2007. The first generator was operational in mid-2010 and the rest by the end of the year.[2][3]
