The Lombo Brasil power station stands at 698 metres.

The water is taken in a gallery and serves the drinking-water supply.

Along the way the water drives a turbine with an output of 150 kW.

The electricity is sent on a 6 kV line to the Calheta power station.

After passing through the turbine, the water is stored in 2 large tanks.

Any surplus water is led into the Levada Nova below.
