Rudbar Lorestan Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
Rudbar Lorestan Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Rudbar River, a tributary of the Dez River, in Iran's Lorestan province with an installed electricity generating capability of 450 MW. It was scheduled to become operational in 2013. Finally, the dam was completed on 15 September 2016. The hydroelectric plant consisting of two 225-MW vertical Francis turbine-generator units has begun operating on 31 May 2017. The Hydropower Plant project was undertaken by the Chinese Gezhouba Group as its first international project in Iran under a comprehensive management framework. Approximately 50% of the total project cost was attributed to electromechanical equipment and metal structures manufactured in China, while around 80% of the design adopted Chinese technical standards.
