The lock and dam are managed by Voies Navigables de France. Construction of the hydroelectric power plant began in May 1986. It is attached to the dam. As the name suggests, the structure is used to generate electricity by taking advantage of the waterfall caused by the dam. The power plant does not operate during periods of high or low water. It is managed by EDF. [https://www.villeylesec.fr/L-ecluse-et-le-barrage?lang=fr]
