The Jiangpinghe Dam ({{zh|s=江坪河水电站大坝|p=Jiāngpínghé shuǐdiànzhàn dàbà|l=Jiangpinghe Hydroelectric Station Dam}}) is a concrete face rock-fill embankment dam on the Loushui River near Jiangpinghe village, Zouma Town, in Hefeng County in Hubei Province, China. The purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation, flood control and irrigation. The dam houses a hydroelectric power station with 2 x 250 MW generators for a total installed capacity of 500 MW. Its expected generation of 1005 GWh will be transferred to the Central China Power Grid. Construction on the dam began in 2005 and the first generator went online in July 2012.{{cite web|title=China's highest CFRDs|url=http://www.chincold.org.cn/dams/DamInformation/damsinchina/webinfo/2010/07/1279253973981691.htm|publisher=Chinese National Committee on Large Dams|accessdate=8 January 2011}}{{cite web|title=Jiang Ping River Hydropower Project successful closure |url=http://xz6.2000y.com/mb/1/ReadNews.asp?NewsID=643475 |publisher=Hubei Province, Hubei Hefeng County Hua Qing Power Co., Ltd. |accessdate=9 January 2012 |language=Chinese }}{{dead link|date=April 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} The dam is {{Convert|221|m|ft|0}} tall, withholding a {{Convert|1366000000|m3|acre.ft|0}} reservoir of which {{Convert|787000000|m3|acre.ft|0}} is active or "useful" storage.{{cite web|title=Jiangpinghe HPP |url=http://en.msdi.cn/showArticle.aspx?id=127 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101226215341/http://en.msdi.cn/showArticle.aspx?id=127 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2010-12-26 |publisher=HYDROCHINA ZHONGNAN ENGINEERING CORPORATION |accessdate=8 January 2011 |date=2010-03-24 }}
