The dam supplies some of the power to Aleppo, and the rebels are likely to use it as another way to wrest control of the city.
It is also a very symbolic victory, as Tabqa is based on Al-Assad Lake, named after President Assad's father.
Some are worried that the dam will now be mismanaged, which could have disastrous results if a flood occurs.
Worries are also increased by the group of rebels which captured the dam and town.
They are an Al Qaeda group known as Jabhat al-Nusra, and their terrorist backing has some worried that they'll go towards that nature.
