On November 1, 2026, the Itaipu Dam, located on the border between Foz do Iguaçu (Brazil) and Ciudad del Este (Paraguay), generated 215 GWh, almost at the typical average of 225 GWh per day.
The Itaipu Dam produced 215 GWh of electricity on 11/01/2026, with 61% (131 GWh) allocated to Brazil and 39% (84 GWh) to Paraguay, according to the National Electric System Operator (ONS). This generation is within the typical pace of the series, whose daily average is 225 GWh.
Each GWh is equivalent to the daily consumption of roughly 200,000 households, meaning the energy generated that day could supply the daily consumption of about 43 million homes – a figure that illustrates the plant’s magnitude.
Although the electricity produced feeds the Brazilian National Interconnected System and covers almost all of Paraguay’s consumption, visitor traffic to the dam is not affected by this generation volume. However, on days of very high generation (above the top 5% of values in the series), the Tourist Complex may experience sections with higher visitor flow and longer queues.
What this means for you: generation is within the average, so there is no risk of interruptions to visits. Feel free to schedule your visit to the Itaipu Tourist Complex without worry, but check queue status and hours on the official website before you go.
