The pre-existing Loch Doon was dammed and the water level raised to form a major element of stage II of the Galloway Hydro-electric Scheme. It supplied water to the Water of Deugh, and hence to power stations at Kendoon, Carsfad (NX68NW 26), Earlstoun (NX68SW 147) and Tongland (NX65SE 86.00).

This dam was apparently intended solely to control the level of the loch, and so has neither integral nor directly associated generating capacity.
