Construction on this multipurpose project was started by the Japanese in 1937 and the first power generation was in 1943, but the dam was not completed until 1946. Under Chinese direction, the power station was built out in three phases and Fengman was the largest hydro plant in Asia for a time. The concrete gravity dam is 1,080m long and reaches a maximum height of 90.5m. Fengman Reservoir (also called Songhua Lake) is 180km long and reaches 75m in depth. A major dam reinforcement and overhaul program started in 1987 and ended in 1997.
