Barrage de Taabo, Hydroelectric dam in Agnéby-Tiassa, Côte d'Ivoire.

The Taabo Dam extends 8100 meters across the Bandama River, featuring a clay core structure and five water discharge openings with radial gates.

The construction of this hydroelectric power station in 1975 marked a major advancement in Côte d'Ivoire's energy infrastructure development downstream from Kossou Dam.

The dam's reservoir creation led to changes in local fishing practices, attracting professional fishermen from various regions to establish new communities.

The facility generates 210 megawatts of renewable energy, providing electricity to more than 141,000 households throughout Côte d'Ivoire.

The concrete spillway maintains water levels at 113 meters above sea level, managing a maximum discharge capacity of 3,900 cubic meters per second.
