Description

In the summer of 1912, work began on the construction of Spain’s second hydroelectric plant (the first was built a few years earlier in the Canary Islands): La Central de Cabdella (by “Energía Eléctrica de Cataluña), which would later become: Fuerzar Eléctricas de Cataluña S.A (FECSA). The construction lasted about two years, opening in 1914.
