About Itaipu Dam
The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Paraná River located on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. It is the third-largest hydroelectric dam in the world in terms of produced energy. The name "Itaipu" is from an island near the construction site, named in the Guarani language after the concept of a "sounding stone." As of 2020, the Itaipu Dam's hydroelectric power plant produced the second-largest amount of electricity of any hydroelectric power plant in the world, only surpassed by the Three Gorges Dam plant in China. Itaipu also holds the 45th largest reservoir in the world.
