The Andaquí Dam is a planned dam with a hydroelectric power plant on the Caquetá River in southern Colombia . The site is on the border between the Departamento del Cauca and Departamento de Putumayo .
From 1994 to 1997, Ingetec SA completed feasibility studies. The total installed hydropower output is expected to be 687 MW. Isagen SA is the developer.
While Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru already have dams on the Amazon-facing side of the Andes, it would be the first hydropower plant for Colombia in this part of the Andes.
