The 9 MW Laxa II Station utilizes the lower head in the same canyon as Laxa I. The river is dammed 300 m below the Laxá I powerhouse. From there, the water is directed through a wooden penstock to a surge tank, then through a steel pipe to the powerhouse, over a total distance of 380 m. The head measures 29 m and the station is equipped with one generating unit, commissioned in 1953.
