The Alto Tâmega is the largest project of its kind carried out in Europe in the last 25 years
The project involves the construction of three hydropower schemes with a combined capacity of 1,158 MW and a yearly production of 1,800 GWh:
- Gouvães Hydropower Scheme on the Torno river (a tributarity of the Tâmega river), including a 35m-high concrete gravity dam, feeding an 880 MW powerhouse, equipped with reversible units (pumped storage).
- Daivões Hydropower Scheme on the Tâmega river, including a 76m-high arch-gravity concrete dam with a 118 MW powerhouse at the dam toe.
- Alto Tâmega Hydropower Scheme on the Tâmega river, including a 106m-high double-curvature concrete arch dam, 332 m long at the crest, with a 160 MW powerhouse at the dam toe.
The project is part of the Portuguese National Programme for Dams with High Hydroelectric Potential (PNBEPH).
