The Xiaonanhai Dam was a proposed dam on the Yangtze River in Chongqing, China. It was to have an associated 1,760 MW hydroelectric power station.[1] Preliminary construction on the dam began on 29 March 2012 and earliest completion was expected in 2019.[4][5][6] However, it was cancelled in March 2015 due to environmental concerns.[7]
