La central Hidroeléctrica de Guatapé utiliza el río Nare que se desvía al río Guatapé para aprovechar una diferencia de nivel de 810 metros entre las cuencas, pasa luego al pozo vertical y de allí al túnel de conducción para descender luego hasta la casa de máquinas a través de la tubería de presión. Esta tubería va libre dentro de la galería y sirve además como salida de emergencia y vía para suministro de aire a la central.
La casa de máquinas está situada a 650 metros de profundidad y se llega a ella a través de un túnel de 1980 metros de longitud, el cual permite el paso de vehículos. Una vez el agua ha sido utilizada para generar la energía, sale al río Guatapé a través del túnel de descarga de 4600mts de longitud.
