The dam Cedillo ( Spanish Presa de Cedillo ) is a dam with hydroelectric power plant in the municipality of Cedillo , province of Cáceres , Spain ; it is located in the binational Parque natural del Tajo Internacional . It dams both the Tajo and the Sever , both of which form the border with Portugal , to form a reservoir. The dam is used to generate electricity. It was completed in 1975 (or 1978).
