Amaxa Hydro Dam

Amaxa Hydro Dam is a Landmark, located in Perantsa.

Location

The Amaxa Hydro Dam spans the upper Arent River where the gorge narrows between sheer slate walls.

Description

The stepped spillways and terraced service roads cling to the rock like a concrete fortress, lit at night by maintenance beacons and warning strobes.

Role and power supply

It is one of Perantsa’s flagship infrastructure projects, feeding power not just to Peran and Harand but to most of the coastal grid.

Reservoir management

Reservoir levels are a constant topic of national news in dry years, when water must be rationed carefully between turbines, irrigation, and the needs of down-river towns.
