The Goupitan Dam, on China's Wu River, and its associated shiplift - at 199m the tallest in the world. (c) Xinhua

The Goupitan Dam is an arch dam on the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze River in Guizhou Province, southwest of China. The dam's hydroelectric facility will operate on five turbines, each with a hydroelectric generating capacity of 600 MW, for a total of 3,000 MW. Constructions began on in 2003 and the first generator was operational in June 2009.[1] All works were completed in 2011.[2][3][4]

Xinhua reported, on July 3, 2020, that the dam would be complete by March 2021.[5]

The dam is supplemented by the Goupitan shiplift, said to be the tallest shiplift in the world.[6]
