The Hydroelectric Power Plant of Itaipu Binacional supplied the country, through the National Electricity Administration (ANDE), 15,013 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity from January to September of the current year, according to a report from the Technical Directorate.
September’s energy production alone was 5,284 GWh. Of this value, 2,689 GWh were generated by the 50 Hz system; of which 1,380 GWh were supplied to ANDE, for use across Paraguay.
The total amount produced during the above-mentioned period totaled 48,014 GWh, equivalent to what was necessary to supply Paraguay’s demand for approximately two years and two months.
The report also mentions the high availability rate of the generating units of the ITAIPU Hydroelectric Power Plant, whose value as of September was 97.03%, surpassing the business target of 94% by 3.03%.
According to a statement from the management of Itaipu, these achievements are made possible by “operational and maintenance efficiency, the technical quality of the employee table and coordinated work between the electrical systems of Paraguay and Brazil, optimising the resources available to meet the existing demand from the interconnected system”.
Itaipu Binacional is the largest generator of clean and renewable energy, with production of more than 3,032,725 GWh since the start of its operations in 1984.
