The Banieya Dam is an embankment dam on the Samou River in the Kindia Region of Guinea. It is located 16 km (9.9 mi) west of Kindia. The dam was completed by 1969 for the purpose of water supply. A hydroelectric power station of 5.2 megawatts (7,000 hp) was commissioned at the dam's toe in 1988. The Kale Dam, which also supports a hydroelectric power station, is located downstream.
