Construction of the dam began in 1983.[1] On 15 August 1991 the land behind the dam lying in Spain was compulsorily acquired by Portuguese company EDP (Electricidade de Portugal), based on an old deal between dictators General Franco of Spain and António de Oliveira Salazar of Portugal. Residents of the five villages which were going to be drowned by the dam, Aceredo, Buscalque, O Bao, A Reloeira and Lantemil, supported by left-leaning political parties, immediately began protests against the building of the dam,[2] including a ten-day hunger strike. In the end, with no option but to move, the residents of Aceredo (a town with 70 houses and 120 citizens) relocated bodies from their cemetery, and a historic church was moved to a different town. Some moved to nearby villages, others far away.[3]
The dam was completed in 1992 and drowned the five villages.[2] It is owned by Companhia Portuguesa de Produção de Electricidade (CPPE). The dam is used for power production.[1]

Alto Lindoso Dam is 110 m (360 ft) tall (height above foundation) and 297 m (974 ft) long double curvature arch dam with a crest altitude of 339 m (1,112 ft).[1] The width at the base is 21 m (69 ft) (crest 4 m (13 ft)).[4] The volume of the dam is 308,500 m3 (10,890,000 cu ft). The dam contains two shaft spillways with three gates each (combined maximum discharge 2,760 m3 (97,000 cu ft)/s) and two bottom outlets (combined maximum discharge 400 m3 (14,000 cu ft)/s).[1]
At full reservoir level of 338 m (maximum flood level of 339 m) the reservoir of the dam has a surface area of 10.72 km²[4][5] and its total capacity is 379.01 million m³. Its active capacity is 347.91 (270)[6] million m³. Minimum operating level is 280 m.[1] With the 347.9 million m³ of water, 224.6 GWh of electricity can be produced.[7]
The formerly drowned village of Aceredo in 2022 emerged again after prolonged drought.[8][9]
The power station contains 2 Francis turbine-generators of 317 MW (350 MVA) each in an underground powerhouse 340 m below the surface.[4] The turbine rotates at 214.3 rpm. The minimum hydraulic head is 227 m, the maximum 288 m. Maximum flow per turbine is 125 m³/s.[7]
As lower reservoir for Alto Lindoso the reservoir of Touvedo dam is used,[5] which is connected via a tailrace tunnel with a length of 4,883 m.[4][10]
