ITAIPU Binacional joins IAHR

Itaipu Binacional is the result of a partnership between the governments of Brazil and Paraguay. The company started in 1974. Its mission was to build and operate the Itaipu hydropower plant, the largest in the world by then.

The plant is located at the Paraná River, the border between the two countries. It is the single plant that has generated the most energy in history, with more than 2.9 billion Megawatt-hours since it started operating, in 1984.

But the company does not only generate electricity. Since its inception, Itaipu Binacional has followed sustainable development principles as reflected by its integrated environmental, social, and economic initiatives that promote prosperity in both countries.
