It is the oldest hydropower dam in the country built in 1956 with a reservoir capacity of 329,000,000 cubic metres (1.161010cuft) that supplied 75 megawatts (increased to 105 MW when it was rehabilitated in 2011) to the Luzon grid. Under this project, participating fish pond ranging from less than one meter to 20 m. The inundated land was mostly smoking, salting and fermenting.
