The New Dam

The New Dam is Isla Puerta's main source of electricity. Built in the early 20th century, it was the third electrical plant on Isla Puerta, jumpstarting consumption of electricity on the island significantly.

History
Plans for the New Dam were created in 1912 by six famous engineers, in cooperation with the grandson of Georgia Nala, Majora Nala, who was considered to be one of Isla Puerta's best architects at the time.

In 1916 Lago Nueava was drained, and a pumping system built to keep the river away from the construction site. The new dam was built over the course of two years, and it was opened in 1918.

Because the new dam was significantly taller than the old dam, large sections of Agua Angelo were flooded as a result, including several former lake side towns and houses, and the village of Presa, which was reduced to the underwater ruins of Presa, as well as Isla Presa, which still holds the old watchtower of Presa.

Plans to demolish the old dam and lower the turbine house were postponed and eventually discarded because of budgetary problems and objections of citizens.
