When complete, the dam will support a 3,000 MW power station consisting of five 600 MW Francis turbine generators. Design
The Guanyinyan Dam will is a  tall and  long gravity dam. Of the dam's length,  is roller-compacted concrete and  is rock-fill embankment with this portion having a maximum height of . The crest elevation of the dam will be  above sea level and contain the power plant at the toe of its body. A spillway and two discharge openings are also included in the design. See also
