Itaipú Binacional: el fin de la deuda y el inicio de una nueva era para Paraguay ⚡🇵🇾

The Itaipu Binational Dam, a source of shared pride for Paraguay and Brazil, marks a historic milestone: in February 2023, the debt incurred for its construction was fully paid off, ushering in a decisive era for the country's energy and economic development. In this special report from Radio San Fernando, we review its history, from the 1973 Treaty and the role of Annex C, to how for decades Paraguay had to cede part of its energy at cost. Today, with the 500 kV transmission line operational, the country can use 100% of its energy for the first time. We also analyze the social impact, the ongoing challenges with displaced communities, and the significant opportunity Itaipu presents as an engine for industrialization and energy sovereignty. 📍 Broadcast from Alto Paraná, on 100.3 FM San Fernando.
