Terradets Reservoir

Nature · Vilanova de Meià, Noguera, Lleida

Embassament de Terradets, a reservoir built in 1935 on the river Noguera Pallaresa, on the border between the comarcas of la Noguera and Pallars Jussà, among the municipalities of Llimiana, Gavet de la Conca and Castell de Mur. It has a capacity of 33.191 hm³ and an area of 310 hectares; its concrete gravity dam reaches a crest elevation of 364 m and is 160 metres long. It feeds the Terradets hydroelectric power station, which operates with a flow of 135 m³/s and generates 32,500 kW of power, with an annual output of 57 GWh. Its waters submerged the monastery of Sant Miquel de Cellers, probably founded in 1170.
