The Itaipu Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Paraná River on the border between Brazil and Paraguay, built jointly by the two countries under a treaty of 1973. Construction began in 1975 and the first turbines went into operation in 1984. One of the largest power plants in the world, it supplies most of Paraguay's electricity, and Paraguay sells much of its share of the power to Brazil.
