With 20 generating units and an installed capacity of 14,000 MW, Itaipu’s energy production in the year was 96,586 GWh, a result that was among the top five since the start of the operation, accumulating a total of 2.6 billion MWh of energy, clean and renewable, generated in 35 years. [EU1]

In 2018, the net energy generated was 95,883 GWh. Of the total, 80,839 GWh were provided for Centrais Elétricas Brasileiras (Eletrobras), which corresponds to 15% of the demand of the Brazilian market. For the Administración Nacional de Electricidad (Ande), 15,044 GWh were supplied, serving almost 91% of the demand of the Paraguayan market. Associated with the productivity index of 99.3%, the figures show that the plant is at the height of its operational efficiency. [102-6,102-7]
