Installed capacity 14,000 MW
and installed generation capacity of the plant is 14 GW-- Leonardo Da Vinci ( talk) 14:12, 28 February 2011 (UTC) Stupid me! It is the same thing :D. Just converted to "giga" lol :D. Sorry I thought there is a difference with the world "generation" in the meaning.-- Leonardo Da Vinci ( talk) 14:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
This article definitely needs cleanup. I do not know enough about wiki notation to do a good job of it however, nor do I know yet how to tag it for cleanup, so I hope someone notices this talk. -- Knife Knut 00:56, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm guessing there's something I'm missing because this hasn't been brought up yet but at the stated start date of 1984 it is definitely not the longest running hydroelectric power plant in the world. As just one example Ardnacrusha power station in Ireland ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardnacrusha) has been running since 1929. 89.101.96.204 ( talk) 20:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
The "Total" at the bottom does not make logical sense because the two columns have not been summed in the same way. ManInStone, Sept 2007.
I heard that the U.S. is going to establish a military base aproved by the government of Paraguay. Can anyone attest to that? Shouldn´t it be mentioned in the article somehow?
In Guaraní "Itaipu" is written wothout tilde since the stress rule states that it goes always upon the last syllable if otherwise not indicated. In Spanish yes it does. -- N0thingness 04:50, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I would like to propose that this article be restarted from scratch as a translation from the Portuguese Version, which has received featured article status. I'll get started with it and as soon as I have enough done I'll post it. If someone doesn't like it just reverse the changes.
Recent changes are real... It's true, but I get these on the intranet. I'll try to find an internet source for you... VdSV9• ♫ 14:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

As a visitor, I noticed that there was a bad edit, the one at 18:25, 14 July 2006 200.241.189.130. It chopped out the section on 'Formation of the lake' and hacked portions of the section 'Agreement between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina'.
There is nothing in this article about how wide or long the dam is (or did I miss it?). Does anyone have detailed dimentions than just the height?-- Midnight Rider 03:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I restored the following paragraph to the article: "By that time, as the three countries were ruled by military dictatorships, Argentina was concerned that, in the event of a conflict, Brazil could open the floodgates, causing the Plata River water level to rise and consequently flooding the capitol city of Buenos Aires." The references for this paragraphs are: Gollerman, Andrey; Picutti, André Lima.

It appears that 'Le Grande' Complex in Quebec, Canada, may be the world's largest hydroelectric generating system. The eight generating stations of the complex have a total generating capacity of 16,021 MW.

It is said in the article that it is a wonder of the world. But I think it could be more mentioned, because its a very significant achievement. K50 Dude - - - ( talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 00:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC).
I'm surprised about the article not having a single reference about the disappearance of the massive Guaíra Falls as a consequence of the dam construction. dariopy ( talk) 12:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Just a quick question. Is it a bad idea to rename this page to "Itaipu Dam"? If so, why? Regards. Rehman( +) 02:30, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Page moved to Itaipu dam. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:23, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Itaipu → Itaipu Dam — Move to a more descriptive title, as per the suggestion of other editors. Itaipu Dam [1] appears to the most commonname in English. Itaipu hydroelectric project, Itaipu hydro station and Itaipu hydro complex also appear to be used but with less frequency and to lesser extent. Labattblueboy ( talk) 15:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
What is the real height of this dam (from the floor bottom, not sea level) and what is the level of water below dam? E.g., it is written in german wiki that the height of the dam is 196 meters and water can reach 190 m. Otherwise, the rated head is 120 meters and it can drop down to 100 m. Consequently, it means that the level of reservoir can move up and down 90 meters. It can not be true figure, its variation must be in range of 30 meters (without any doubt). For instance, the volume 29 billion cubic meters may mean available volume of reservoir and this one corresponds to variations equal to 25-30 m. It seems to me that the height of the dam is 130-140 meters and lower level is nearly 60 masl. Any exact figures or corrections to this argumentation?-- Beaber ( talk) 05:24, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Suggested variant for conclusion: 1) According to original data the maximum upper level is 6 m below dam height; 2) According to new data, the maximum (flood) level of reservoir is 223.1 masl. It gives the height of the dam equal to 229.1 masl or 125.1 meters above downstream ("223.1max + 6 - 104design").-- Beaber ( talk) 02:05, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
This is what we need. Outlets are under water. There is no loss in falling water, pure delta heigth is used. - DePiep ( talk) 17:02, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
The calculation here is wrong. The energy value for burning diesel fuel (not taking into generation, simply in MJ) is not clear and probably based on full load of the plant. This fails to take into account capacity factor or the specific Energy conversion efficiency (which depends based on the plant, but some near 40%). For example, for the 2013 value, the plant produced an average of 11.3 GW. For a 37% efficient gas turbine plant fueled by fuel oil, 434,000 barrels per day would produce an average power of 8 GW. It is a very misleading statement and needs to be expanded to discuss long term trends in the plant's capacity factor and nail down an actual thermal power plant (Rankine process, Brayton process, diesels, etc.) to make the comparison.-- Burzum ( talk) 20:33, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
