The Canelles Dam (in Catalan Pantà de Canelles ) is located in the Spanish provinces of Huesca and Lleida in the course of the Noguera Ribagorzana River . It has a storage space of 679 million cubic meters and is primarily used to generate electricity.
The former public company Enher (currently ENDESA ) built it in 1960. Due to its capacity, it is the largest reservoir in the Segre basin and the second largest in the Ebro hydrographic basin after the Mequinenza dam .
