Itaipu Binacional reported supplying 24,121 GWh to Paraguay through ANDE during January–October 2026. Total output for the two countries was 66,071 GWh, while generation-unit availability reached 96.50%, above the operator's 94% target.
What the figures measure
In October, the hydroelectric plant produced 7,701 GWh. Output on the 50 Hz system was 4,033 GWh, of which 2,503 GWh was supplied to ANDE. These figures describe production and system-level supply. They do not measure spare capacity at a particular substation or guarantee a factory's connection date, tariff or service reliability.
The investment decision begins at the grid
Power-intensive investors, including manufacturers, cold-storage operators and data centres, need site-specific verification of transmission and distribution capacity, connection lead times, service quality and applicable contractual conditions. National hydroelectric production is only one part of that business case.
Radar analysis | Generation is not guaranteed industrial delivery
Itaipu's high operational availability matters, but investment feasibility depends on electricity that can actually reach a specified site under verifiable conditions. The next indicators to track are substations, transmission projects, industrial connections and demand growth. This report does not establish unlimited power access or a particular competitive tariff.
