Binga Dam

Binga Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Agno River in Barangay Tinongdan, Itogon, Benguet, Philippines, about 30 km southeast of Baguio City. Completed in 1960, it impounds the Binga Reservoir and forms part of the Agno River hydroelectric cascade with Ambuklao Dam upstream. Operated by SN Aboitiz Power-Benguet, it generates power and helps regulate river flow, and is known for its mountain reservoir scenery and viewpoint.

Visitors can expect a large concrete hydroelectric dam and reservoir set in a forested mountain valley along the Agno River. The main visitor area is an exterior viewpoint overlooking the dam wall, spillway and reservoir. There is no general public access inside the power plant. The surroundings are steep pine-covered slopes with winding access roads. Activities are limited to sightseeing and photography from designated viewing areas.

Binga Dam was constructed from 1956 to 1960 as a war reparations project with assistance from Japan, and commissioned in 1960. Built downstream of Ambuklao Dam on the Agno River, it was initially a 100 MW facility to supply power to Luzon. It has undergone rehabilitation and uprating, now operating as a 140 MW hydroelectric plant managed by SN Aboitiz Power-Benguet.
