The Chengbihe Dam is an embankment dam on the Chengbihe River, a tributary of the You River. It is located 60NaN0 north of Baise City in Guangxi, China. The dam was constructed between 1958 and 1961. The 700NaN0 tall earth dam with a concrete core creates a 11500000000NaN0 reservoir and supports a 30 MW power station. The original four generators were commissioned in 1966 at 6.5 MW each but were uprated to 7.5 MW in 1997.[1] [2]
