Itaipu Dam

The Itaipu Dam is a massive hydroelectric power plant located on the Paraná River between Brazil and Paraguay. It uses the flow of water to generate electricity by spinning powerful turbines, converting the river’s energy into electrical power. It’s one of the largest dams in the world in terms of energy production, supplying a significant portion of Brazil and Paraguay’s electricity needs. The dam also helps with flood control and water management. Its construction involved thousands of workers over several years, and it stands as a symbol of international cooperation in renewable energy.
