Municipality of Ramon Isabela & Alfonso Lista Ifugao
December 25, 2023
Onboard our L300 van, we drove to the Municipality of Ramon Isabela to have a look at the Magat Dam and the Hydroelectric Power Plant.
It was a 45-minute 35-kilometer drive from our residence in Echague Isabela.
According to the authorities, Magat Dam is a large rock-fill dam in the island of Luzon in the Philippines.
The dam is located along the Magat River, a major tributary of the Cagayan River. The construction of the dam started in 1975 and was completed in 1982. It is one of the largest dams in the Philippines.
It is a multi-purpose dam which is used primarily for irrigating about 85,000 hectares (210,000 acres) of agricultural lands, flood control, and power generation through the Magat Hydroelectric Power Plant.
The water stored in the reservoir is enough to supply about two months of normal energy requirements.
The construction and appurtenant structures were authorized by Presidential Decree No/ 693 signed on May 7, 1975, by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos. The Magat Dam was constructed in 1978, inaugurated by Marcos on October 27, 1982, and started operations in 1983.
