The Monasavu Dam is a rock-fill embankment dam on the Nanuku River about northwest of Nasinu in Naitasiri Province, Fiji. It is located just above the Monasavu Falls and is both the tallest and largest dam, which also withholds the largest reservoir in the country. The primary purpose of the dam is to produce hydroelectric power and it supports an power station. To offset fossil fuel imports for power production on the island, the Monasavu-Wailoa Hydroelectric Project was authorized by the Fiji Electricity Authority in 1977 and construction began in May 1978. The dam was complete and power station commissioned in 1983.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Fiji seeks design to expand 80-MW Wailoa )〕 About US$15 million of the project's total US$234 million cost was supplied by the World Bank, the rest by the host government and loans. ==Wailoa Hydro Power Station== Water from the dam is diverted through nearly of tunnels to the Wailoa Hydro Power Station to the east on the Wailoa River. The power station contains four Pelton turbine-generators and the drop in elevation between the reservoir and power station affords a hydraulic head (water drop) of about . In 1992, the power station was supplying 92% of Viti Levu's, the main Fiji island, power. This share dropped to 49% in 2006 due to growing power demand.
