Quick facts: Development started in 1957 for this $1.7bn multiuse project on the Guadiana River in south
central Portugal. The 96m dam created Europe’s biggest man-made
reservoir measuring about 80km long. In Sep 1995, EDP signed a protocol agreement
with state-owned EDIA to complete the development. In 2001, the European
Investment Bank (EIB) made a €65mn loan for the plant and the dam
floodgates were closed in Feb 2002 despite continuing protests from
environmentalists concerned that the new reservoir would have detrimental
effects on the regional environment. The scheme includes the construction
of nine small dams and about 5,000km of canals and pipelines to irrigate
110,000ha. The Pedrogao Dam was built 23km downstream to create a
regulating reservoir.
