Actually I have a question, you said it was a (singular) dam that never produced electricity and wasn't equipped to do so. But the Banqiao dam failure ended with 62 dam collapses, I'd assume at least some of them were meant for electricity, and it looks like that was the case because Wikipedia says (with 3 sources) "was launched to prevent flooding and to utilize the water for irrigation and generating electricity." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1975_Banqiao_Dam_failure
