The Itaipu Hydropower Station is located 12 kilometers north of Foz do Iguaçu City. It is jointly built by Brazil and Paraguay. The hydropower station's generating units and power generation are equally divided between the two countries. Completed in 1991, the dam alone is 7.7 kilometers long. If you just think you are here to see the dam, you are wrong. Brazilians who love nature have done a lot of protection work for the local ecological environment when building the reservoir. After the dam was built, dozens of isolated islands after the water level rose were built into independent ecological protection centers to maintain the local ecosystem. diversity. The hydropower station is located on the Paraná River, the boundary river between Brazil and Paraguay. This river is the fifth largest river in the world, with an annual runoff of 725 billion cubic meters. At present, the hydropower station is a hydropower station with a large power generation capacity. The dam has a total of 20 generating units (700,000 kilowatts each), with a total installed capacity of 14 million kilowatts and an annual power generation capacity of 90 billion kWh, of which 94.86 billion kWh was generated in 2008, while Hydropower generating sets and power generation are split equally between the two countries. The efficiency of the power station today is remarkable, but the price paid for the construction of the Itaipu dam was also enormous, with indigenous villages, 700 square kilometers of forest, and waterfalls comparable to Iguazu Falls. The tour project is currently divided into six themed attractions in Itaipu Hydropower Station, namely: SpecialTour, LightingoftheDam, AstronomyHub, PanoramicTour, BiologicalSanctuary, Eco-museum and ElectricVehicleTestDrive.
