The hydroelectric station d' Itaipu is largest of the kind in operation in the world. Built as from 1975 to 1991, in a development binational on the Paraná river, Itaipu represents the efforts and the achievements of the two adjoining countries, Brazil and Paraguay. 18 production units central to add it jusqu' at a total production capacity of 12.600 MW (megawatts) and a reliable exit of 75 million MWh per annum. The d' production; Itaipú energy broke several records during the last years, after the last production unit was ordered in 1991. The generation of 77.212.396 MWh per annum in 1995 will be again exceeded in 1996, and the new recording will be d' approximately 80 million MWh d' a mark year...
the extent of the project can also be shown by the fact that, in 1995 Itaipú alone answered for 25% of l' energy supply in Brazil and 78% in Paraguay. The power station is also a major tourist attraction in the area of Foz C Iguaçu, after having received l' order of 9 million visitors of 162 countries. The Brazilian city of Foz C Iguaçu, which shelters also famous Iguaçu falls, is located at l' western end of l' State of Paraná, very close to the border with Paraguay and l' Argentina. General plan of the project.

The hydroelectric station d' Itaipu, located at 14 kilometers in the north of the international bridge connecting the towns of Foz C Iguaçu, in Brazil and Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, is composed d' a series of various types of stoppings on a total distance of 7744 meters, with a rise in the peak of 225 meters. The power station is located at the foot of the principal stopping, the majority of this one on the bed of the river and the remainder on the channel of diversion. Nominal nominal output of l' factory is 12600 MW, distributed between 18 turbine-alternators groups of 700 MW each one, of which 15 are located in the principal power station and the three others on the channel of diversion. L' crest gate of risings is located on Right Bank, and it has 14 doors d' lock segmented with a total flow of 62200 cubic meters a second (twice that of the highest rising level on the file). The Concrete Hand Prejudice is of the type with hollow gravity and is connected to l' crest gate of believed by a concrete buttress of the type Wing Dam which continues on this subject like small a Cardhfill dam. On left bank a rock-fill dam is dependent on the principal stopping and l' another end with an earth dam. In order to build the wall of the principal stopping and the power station, the river was diverted by a diversion canal on left bank.

Volumes of construction in Itaipú are also impressive. The volume of iron and d' steel used in the structure of the stopping would be sufficient to build 380 Eiffel Towers, and the volume of concrete used in Itaipú represents 15 times volume used to build the Channel tunnel between France and l' England. Itaipu is l' one of the Seven Wonders of the modern world, according to a world survey carried out by l' American Society off Civil Engineers (ASCE) and published in December 1995 like an article of cover of North-American the " Popular Mechanics". L' article says that " To build [the stopping d' Itaipu], the workers reproduce a work d' Hercules: they passed during the seventh larger river of the world (Paraná, in Brazil and of Paraguay at the borders) and removed more than 50 million tons of ground and rock. " According to the magazine, “the true wonder of Itaipú, however, is its power… a single building which puts at 12600 megawatts - sufficiently to feed the majority of Californie".
