Descripción del Proyecto
Renace III is located at an altitude of between 467m and 648m above sea level and is fed principally by waters from the previous phases. For this reason, a dam was constructed to divert water to the intake, it then flows through a series of pipes (canals and tunnels) to a vertical well, finally leading to the power house.
The project began in 2014 was completed in 2016. It generates 66 MW of power.
