The dam's power plant contains 5 × 180 MW and 3 × 310 MW Francis turbine-generators. The 146-metre-tall (479-foot) dam withholds one of the largest reservoirs in Mexico, with a volume of 18,200,000,000 m3 (14, 754, 980 acre⋅ft). Initial construction on the dam began in 1969 and the foundation work in 1971. On 8 May 1974, the dam began to impound its reservoir. On 14 July 1976, the dam's first generator went online.
