The net head is 30.5 m and the installed capacity of the two (2) Francis turbines is about 2.3 MW, allowing annual production of approximately 7.5 GWh. The water is returned to the Avançon river in the immediate vicinity of the power station via an underground tailrace.

The commissioning of this hydropower scheme is scheduled for end of 2023.
