This work focuses, and documents, the technical and industrial history, from the beginning to the end, of two hydroelectric power plants that served to electrify two significant regions of Catalonia: Baix Empordà and Alt Urgell. First, it explains the approach in 1882, the different projects, and finally the construction of the El Pasteral power plant, which operated between the years 1908 to 1961, when it was scrapped to build a more powerful plant in the same place. Secondly, it explains the beginnings of the electrification of the city of La Seu d’Urgell, in the last years of the XIX century, the creation of the Cooperativa Eléctrica Urgelense at 1925, and its commitment to build a power plant in Segre river, in the Pont de Bar village. The project, the construction and the more or less adequate operation, since 1927, until 1982 when the plant was so damaged by a flood, that left it not operational.
