Tominaga Dam (富永ダム) is a dam in the city of Toyota in the Aichi Prefecture of Japan. It is a concrete Gravity dam that stands at a height of approximately 107 feet (33 meters) and generates power for Chubu Electric Power.

History[edit]

After the Second World War, Chubu Electric Power, which had been expanding its power supply facilities, made plans to construct their fourth large-scale pumped-storage hydroelectric plant in the Yahagi River system following the Hatanagi, Takane, and Mazegawa dams.
