{{Water Project
|Project Type=Dam, Hydropower
|isbuilt=yes
|Storage Capacity=0.0123
|Start Date=1984
|Description=Construction of the Itaipu Dam began in 1973 and completed in 1991. Community conflicts arose during the construction of the project due to little or no compensation to those who were displaced. However, after involvement from joint planning between the Brazilian and Paraguayan governments the major ecological and social impacts were mitigated.<ref name= "Hydropolitical Vulnerability and Resilience along International Waters">Newton, Joshua T. (2007). Hydropolitical Vulnerability and Resilience along International Waters. United Nations Environment Programme. Chapter 3. pg 55. </ref> Itaipu is the largest hydroelectric project in the world and a result of a 1973 bilateral agreement between Paraguay and Brazil. The hydroelectric dam cost the two governments and other international participants US$15 billion and 20 years to construct. The generating capacity is 26,000mW and supplies 26% of all of the electricity for Brazil and 78% for Paraguay with zero emissions.<ref name="TFDD 2012">Product of the Transboundary Freshwater Dispute Database, Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University.
