The dam is 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) long and 127 metres (417 ft) high embankment dam with concrete spillway and power plant sections.
Reservoiredit
The dam's reservoir has a surface area of 703 square kilometres (271 sq mi) and a capacity of 12.5 cubic kilometres (10,100,000 acre⋅ft) of which 5.54 cubic kilometres (4,490,000 acre⋅ft) is live.
São Simão Hydroelectric Power Plantedit
The dam's power station contains six 285 megawatts (382,000 hp) generators powered by Francis turbines for a total installed capacity of 1,710 megawatts (2,290,000 hp).[2][3] There is additional room for four more generators in the power stations but there are no plans to have them installed currently.[4]
