The CFR dam is 165 m high (foundation height: 183 m), 310 m long and has a bulk volume of 6.6 million cubic meters. Construction began in 2004, followed by the opening in 2010. In addition to generating energy, the Paute-Mazar dam has the task of keeping sediments out of the downstream Amaluza reservoir . In addition, the Paute Mazar dam is to ensure that the hydropower plants below the Amaluza dam are supplied with water more evenly.
