[10] The public company in charge of developing the project is Proyecto Misicuni, an entity created by law in 1987.

The Misicuni consortium, led with 51 percent ownership by Grandi Lavori Fincosit S.p.A. of Italy, was the sole bidder for the project.

Once the dam will be completed, the amount of drinking water available will increase tenfold to 63 million cubic meters per year.
