The Afobaka Dam is an embankment dam and hydroelectric power station used for energy production. Construction began in 1960 and was completed between 1961 and 1964. It serves as a major source of electricity for the region.

The completion of the dam led to the creation of the Brokopondo Reservoir, a large man-made body of water. This industrial infrastructure remains a significant component of the area's energy production.
