From the Potrerillos dam, the water is first fed to the Cacheuta power station. After the water has passed the turbines of the Cacheuta power station, it is passed through a tunnel and then through a canal to the Alvarez Condarco power station.
The installed capacity of the Alvarez Condarco power plant with three machines is 54.94 (or 61.6) MW . The average annual production is given as 259 million kWh .
Two Francis turbines produce a maximum of 23.3 MW each; a third Francis turbine has an output of 15 MW. The rated speed of the turbines is 375 or 333.3 min −1 . The fall height is between 80 and 84.5 m. The flow rate is between 20 and 30 m³ / s.
